Questions about the whereabouts of rich Mr. Davis Pickett still arouse as Aza Holmes and Davis Jr. build a stronger relationship. Aza tries to support Davis as he accepts the fact that his father may never come back, though she finds this hard as her OCD gets in the way of her getting too intimate with him. Meanwhile, Aza‘s besfriend Daisy develops feelings for a certain “man-baby” named Mychal.

paige.yearous If you like books that seem to go on forever, this one‘s for you. 3y
paige.yearous This book takes place in the first person point of view. We get to see the world through Aza‘s perspective. While reading the book, we often get glimpses into what Aza is thinking on a deeper level instead of just seeing her actions and what she is witnessing. The concerns and worries she has about illness and disease never seem to leave her mind, and play a key role in depicting her OCD. 3y

Aza Homles has OCD. She overthinks, hates germs and struggles to be normal. She starts to leave her comfort zone when Davis Pickett, a local rich man goes missing. Daisy, her best friend, convinces Aza to use her friendship with Mr. Pickett‘s son to find Davis and collect the cash reward for finding him.
If you like books about oddball teens, this is for you.
Mental illness is a recurring motif. It‘s represented in ways like Aza‘s finger wound.

MissYaremcio Nicely done Paige! I haven't read this one but John Green is amazing! I was just missing a little bit more on the significance of the motif in the novel! 5.5/6 3y
paige.yearous @MissYaremcio I was running out of room writing the motif. This motif is significant because it represent the deep rooted OCD Aza must live with. The wound is a cut on her finger she consistently reopens, sanitizes, clears of any bacteria and bandages. It is a clear and good example of OCD and is significant in showing the inner struggles Aza must continue to deal with. Despite Aza‘s world being in a constant state of change, this stays the same. 3y
