Turtles All the Way Down

“My whole life I thought I was the star of an overly earnest romantic movie, and it turns out I was in a goddamned buddy comedy all along.”Fans of [b:The Fault in Our Stars 11870085 The Fault in Our Stars John Green https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1360206420s/11870085.jpg 16827462] looking for another star-crossed love story will be disappointed, but readers who can deal with a very uncomfortable look into the mind of a teen with a serious anxiety disorder/OCD and the impact that mental illness can have on a lifelong friendship will find Turtles All the Way Down very rewarding. I'm sure there will be literally millions of reviews of this book on GR soon, and I'm sure this one will be overlooked for its lack of GIFs and squee-ing, but I will just say that I am very glad I didn't pass on this book when it was offered to me. For teens (or anyone) suffering from mental illness, the message is that it does get better (without necessarily being “cured”) and that life does go on as we muddle through the best we can.
