This is my third read by John Green and all three reads have captured young adults in the storyline. Aza Holmes is the protagonist in this novel who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and severe anxiety. She has a tough time dealing with it and takes regular counseling from her psychologist. She cannot control the feeling that anything that happens to her will lead her to be affected by Clostridium difficile (C. diff ) and eventually she will die. From small sore to big accident, each incident increases her anxiety some more. Such Aza has a carefree mate Daisy who is a writer herself and blogs on star-war fiction stories. The two friends are very close and there's nothing that's hidden between them. One day Daisy shares about Russel Pickett the great businessman being lost and convinces Aza to look for Mr. Pickett so as to earn the reward under his name. Daisy knows of David Pickett who is Mr. Pickett's son and she believes is Aza's childhood crush too. Aza goes to meet David and here starts a new journey of investigation while love springs. The Pickett empire is filled with mystery which Aza tries to unfold and every fold brings a new story. A new turn in the story comes when the girls know of the reptile tuatara to whom Mr. Pickett has left all his fortune to. The story ends in an unusual turn.
Teenage love, mystery, lost parents, future hopes and the upcoming unknowns-the book has tried to incorporate all. Good thing about this book is it flows smoothly. You sit down to make a read and you can just keep reading and not feel bored. This is one typical John Green type novel. I like the read, the characters and the different circumstances they are in one can totally relate.
I give a 3*** for the flow in the read.
