By John Green
From the author of A Fault in Our Stars, another heartbreaking story; this one about a teen with a mental health illness. But this book is both a romance and a mystery!
This review is from Publishers Weekly Annex:
Like many of Green's
characters, Aza Holmes is whip smart, articulate, and tortured by worry.
When she was eight, her father succumbed to a heart attack while mowing
the lawn. Now 16, Aza takes meds (irregularly) to treat anxiety, which
is manifesting in increasingly self-destructive ways. Her problems
amplify when she reconnects with Davis, a boy she met years earlier at
"Sad Camp," where both had gone to grieve their recently deceased
parents. Now Davis's billionaire father is missing, running from a
warrant for his arrest. Aza's best friend Daisy, in a classic sidekick
role, pressures Aza to contact Davis, hoping they'll learn something
about the disappearance-and maybe get a cut of the $100,000 reward. The
reunion leads to romance, until Aza's anxiety won't allow it...
