The scenes in which Aza descends into the madness of her disorder, a turbulent chaos, this ever-tightening spiral in which she is trapped, are incredibly difficult to read, yet something you can’t tear your eyes away from. He is able to sensitively unveil the stark reality of these often stereotyped illnesses,whilst also constructing a compelling story. This novel, from the author of The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns, follows Aza Holmes, a 16-year old girl who attempts to solve the mystery of a missing local billionaire, all whilst struggling with severe Anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Green himself struggles with mental illness, something which you can read through the heartbreakingly accurate portrayal of the mental illness from which Aza suffers. There are some books that I can read and re-read for years John Green’s Turtles all the Way Down is one of them.
