THE INSTANT #1 BESTSELLER!
FEATURED ON 60 MINUTES and FRESH AIR

“So surprising and moving and true that I became completely unstrung.” – The New York Times

Named a best book of the year by: The New York Times, NPR, TIMEWall Street JournalBoston Globe, Entertainment WeeklySouthern LivingPublishers Weekly, BookPage, A.V. Club, Bustle, BuzzFeed, Vulture, and many more!


JOHN GREEN, the acclaimed author of Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars, returns with a story of shattering, unflinching clarity in this brilliant novel of love, resilience, and the power of lifelong friendship.

Aza Holmes never intended to pursue the disappearance of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Pickett’s son Davis. 

Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

    Horrible. As a person with OCD, It gives a bad representation of OCD, making people think this is what it is. The characters are obnoxious, the horrible morals the author forces on you are suffocating, it has a bad plot that it doesn’t even follow, more like a bad insight into a disorder that the author seems to have made up for money. But even worse, the amount of references made to the author’s personal life are extremely visible, like this is the author if they were an insufferable, annoying, selfish, overly sensitive young girl. Do not waste your money, please, these reviews are not true!
  • All the way down

    I mean it’s a John Green book how can no one not like a John Green book. This book starts very calm, I usually don’t like the start of books because they are so slow, but this starts calm. I was sorta lost in the direction it was taking me but throughly enjoyed the journey it was beautiful, insightful, and caring. If you want a soft and poetic read to get the tears rolling a little bit then this is the book to read!

    I am a big fan of Johnn Green, and definetly think you should read it. He puts the dynamic of new love but also evolves friendship. One thing I would have to say is i would of liked to see more of people being brought out of their struggles, not fixing them, but in a way maybe overcoming them more. Overall, a very good book with moments that fuel your thoughts.I definetly recommend!!!
  • Loved it
