Turtles All the Way Down

If you’re one who suffers from anxiety or are a germaphobe, I do not suggest reading this book. The main character has extreme anxiety and is extremely germaphobic. As someone who doesn’t have extreme anxiety but fairly bad anxiety. Which it definitely worsened. It did eventually give some hope though, that someone crazy filled with anxiety could still live through it, so I could too.

Besides the anxiety factor, it had a very good plot and was tied up very nicely at the end. The whole story revolves around the main character’s old camp crush’s father’s disappearance. Which was a doozy of a sentence to write. Throughout the book, we see the main character struggle with wanting to keep up with the mystery and dropping it. 

The book I would say is a romance mystery. Personally, I think mystery books are so cool, because I don’t think I could think ahead that far and that cleverly to write one. It definitely takes a good writer to write mysteries, because you have to keep the reader interested in the mystery, but the mystery can’t be the only point of the story. John Green is one of my favorite authors, and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone specifically who isn’t germaphobic.
