Turtles All the Way Down by John Green My rating: 4 of 5 stars   (or more of a 3.5 shhh) "But you give your thoughts too much power, Aza. Thoughts are only thoughts. They are not you. You do belong to yourself, even when your thoughts don't" My hopes for this book weren't (at all) high and well, this really didn't amazed me that much but it was a good read; what really got to me was the anxiety rep. So here we have Aza, who's our main character and is going through life with OCD and anxiety and suddenly she finds herself with her bestfriend trying to solve a mystery of a person dissapearing and she reconnects with a guy from her past, and really sums up the book. Something I got to point out was the "mystery", I kind of enjoy John Green's books but I think he repeated himself here and went for the same thing as in "Paper Towns" and that did not set well with me, I'm just tired of that narrative; honestly the ...

It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini My rating: 3 of 5 stars This one was definetly a let down and that breaks my heart; I really wanted to love this book, because mental illness should be something we talk about more, we have to be consious of how many people struggle with some type of mental illness and we really have to start undestranding them, and for me this book would be a good starter for the conversation but it really wasn't. I first met this story when I watched the movie about 6 years ago when I was just diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and honestly it was my favorite, like I would recommend it to everybody and I felt really represented through Craig's thoughts but now that i've read the book some time after, it really didn't do it for me. It was not a total waste of a read, I kinda enjoyed it, well some parts, for starters Ned Vizzini had depression and anxiety, and you really can feel those types of thoughts and feeling thro...
