Turtles All the Way Down

I know a lot of people don't like John Green because unrealistic teenage dialogue blah blah, similar themes in all his stories yada yada, but WHATEVER, I LIKE HIM. I like him a lot, and I liked Turtles All The Way Down a lot, though I'm gonna put a couple warnings on this:

• Trigger warning: the main character, Aza, struggles with anxiety, spiraling thoughts and hypochondria, and there are descriptions of self-harm.
• I am a mild hypochondriac - I often worry that I might catch some weird and rare thing, but I have never gone to the doctor actually thinking I've caught something weird and rare, and I don't deal with it all the time. It doesn't consume my life. If your hypochondria consumes your life at all, I don't know that I'd recommend this book. Aza is fixated on an illness (which I have not looked up because I am banned from WebMD, and therefore I do not know if it is real or fictitious) and she thinks about it ALL THE TIME. Everything ends up spiraling back to this illness that she's worried she will contract. If this seems like it would be anxiety-producing for you, proceed at your own risk.
• This book was very good at describing anxiety. There were a few times that I started to feel anxious listening to Aza's anxiety, and needed to check myself to make sure I was okay to continue. Take care of yourself.

And despite all that, I liked Aza a lot and I could relate to not being able to choose your own thoughts when you're in the middle of an anxious episode. I liked her relationships with her best friend, Daisy, and the guy she kinda-likes-kinda-dates, Davis, and his little brother. I liked that in those relationships she was not willing to overpromise or overcommit (both things Teenage Allie failed at miserably), but that they all still dealt with real things like loss and jealousy and loneliness.

Audio was excellent, with distinct characterizations of the three main characters.
