The thing about a spiral is, if you follow it inward, it never actually ends. It just keeps tightening, infinitely.

»lch kann mit drei Worten alles zusammenfassen, was ich über das Leben gelernt habe: Es geht weiter.«

Aber man verabschiedet sich nicht, wenn man nicht vorhat, sich wiederzusehen.

Violet Markey

Ich hätte ihr gesagt, dass Davis und ich nie viel geredet oder uns angesehen hatten, aber das war egal, weil wir zusammen den selben Himmel sahen, was viel intimer ist, als einander in die Augen zu sehen. In die Augen kann man jeden sehen. Aber jemanden zu finden, der die selbe Welt sieht, ist ziemlich selten.

Und der Punkt ist, wenn du einmal jemanden verlierst, wird dir klar, dass du am Ende alle verlierst.

Und wenn du nicht steuern kannst, was du denkst oder tust, vielleicht gibt es dich dann garnicht wirklich, weißt du, was ich meine? Vielleicht bin ich bloß eine Lüge, die ich mir selbst einflüstere.

Ich konnte mein Leben lang nicht geradeaus denken oder auch nur einen Gedanken zu Ende denken, weil meine Gedanken keine Linien, sondern ineinander verknotete Schleifen waren, Treibsand, Wurmlöcher, die alles Licht verschluckten.

Ich hasste meinen Körper. Er ekelte mich an - seine Behaarung, seine Schweißperlen, seine Hagerkeit. Ein mit Haut bezogenes Skelett, eine wandelnde Leiche. Ich wollte raus da - aus meinem Körper, aus meinen Gedanken, einfach raus -, aber ich saß fest.

Ich kann in drei Worten alles zusammenfassen, was ich über das Leben gelernt habe: Es geht weiter.

Mein Leben ist nicht unbedingt schlimmer geworden. Nur kleiner. Wenn man lange genug hochsieht, fängt man an, die eigene Winzigkeit zu spüren. Der Unterschied zwischen lebendig oder nicht lebendig - das ist etwas. Aber von den Sternen aus betrachtet gibt es fast keinen Unterschied zwischen den verschiedenen Arten von lebendig, zwischen mir und dem frisch gemähten Gras, auf dem ich liege. Beide sind wir Unwahrscheinlichkeiten: das, was im Universum einem Wunder am nächsten kommt.

Das Schlimmste daran, wirklich allein zu sein, ist der Gedanke an all die Male, als du dir gewünscht hast, die anderen würden dich einfach in Ruhe lassen. Jetzt hast du deine Ruhe, und alle sind weg, und du stellst fest, dass du keine gute Gesellschaft bist.

Aber Schwerkraft ist anders als Zuneigung. Nur eines bleibt.

Ich spürte, wie ich den Halt verlor, aber selbst das ist eine Metapher. Spürte, wie ich fiel, auch das ist eine. Kann das Gefühl nicht beschreiben, kann nur sagen, ich bin nicht ich. Geschmiedet auf dem Amboss einer anderen Seele. Bitte lass mich hier raus. Wer immer mich erfunden hat, lass mich hier raus.

I couldn't give this five stars because I rolled my eyes at how pretentious these teens are and how rushed the ending felt. Also, the end felt so...cliché. I enjoyed an inside look at OCD and liked the therapist. I can totally envision this as a movie.

I SHOULD HAVE GUESSED THE ENDING 😭😭

JUST HOLMSEY AND DAVIS ❤️❤️

I SHOULD HAVE GUESSED THE ENDING 😭😭

Aza Holmes, a high school student with obsessive-compulsive disorder, becomes focused on searching for a fugitive billionaire.

Expected a mystery plotline... but the intense description of her episodes had really gotten into me. It's nice to know there are representation of mental conditions from known authors out there. :) 

I jumped into this book thinking it would be a teen crime/mystery solving plot only for it to go completely different. Don’t get me wrong the writing is beautiful and the depiction of OCD and spiraling mentally gets relatable. I didn’t really know where this book was going half the time but i think that just depicts youth and teen years perfectly.

Šestnáctiletá Aza to nemá v životě lehké. Trpí OCD a její hrůzné myšlenky jí ovládají život. Stýská se jí po otci, a i když má nejlepší kamarádku Daisy, přijde si sama. Jednoho dne se ovšem doslechne o zmizení místního miliardáře, Russella Picketta. Za jakékoliv informace o něm vás čeká odměna 100 000 dolarů. Aza shodou náhod zná Rusellova syna Davise, kamaráda z dětství, a rozhodne se ho společně s Daisy navštívit. Po čase jí ale dojde, že odměna možná není ten pravý důvod, proč s Davisem začíná trávit tolik času...

Moje druhá Greenovka je úspěšně za mnou, a já jsem moc ráda, že jsem si ji přečetla! Nejvíc mě zmátla originální anotace, protože mi slibovala veliké pátrání po Pickettovi, které se nekonalo, a já z toho byla následně trochu mimo. Proto jsem vám sem sepsala svou vlastní anotaci, která se příběhu snad blíží víc. Jedna želva za druhou nebyla tak romantická a klišé jako Hvězdy nám nepřály, které se mi nelíbily a kvůli kterým jsem od Greena už nechtěla nic číst. Naopak, tahle knížka se mi líbila, protože jsem se dozvěděla něco víc o lidech s OCD, což bylo velice zajímavé, protože i já sama mám někdy takové podobné stavy, akorát že 100x menší :). OCD hraje v knize velikou roli, narozdíl od romantiky, a to je za mě velké plus. Příběh sám o sobě dost kolísal, ale utíkal rychle, což je taky plus, když už se tam nic nedělo. 
✩
Knížka si podle mě zaslouží 4*/5*, a tu jednu hvězdu ubírám za to, že anotace mluvila o nějaké úplně jiné knize a příběh svým způsobem moc neexistoval.

John Green’s books are an easy escape; yet there’s always a rewarding payoff. The plot was a little far-fetched (which seems par for the course), but I found the characters and themes to be well-rounded and universal. Some of the prose is nauseatingly cute: “Everyone always celebrates the easy attractiveness of green or blue eyes, but there was a depth to Davis's brown eyes that you just don't get from lighter colors, and the way he looked at me made me feel like there was something worthwhile in the brown of my eyes, too.”

Ryan Mateyk

I'm feeling kind of conflicted about this because John Green is an awesome writer and really a master of realistic dialogue but I felt like nothing much happened. The synopsis as well doesn't reflect this book at all. It makes it seem like a nice light-hearted teen mystery but it's really heavily focused on anxiety and mental health and they investigate the disappearance of the billionaire for like 5 minutes.

Regardless it was still an enjoyable read.

Could've been a whole lot better easily but overall an okay read. Also, very little plot mainly vibes (suffering).

A different take on a story about high school/teenagers. One of those stories where the main character is not the "perfect" type.

Una nueva novela de John Green, el autor del bestseller internacional Bajo la misma estrella, con más de 15 millones vendidos en todo el mundo Aza nunca tuvo intención de investigar el misterio del multimillonario fugitivo Russell Pickett. Pero hay una recompensa de cien mil dólares en juego, y su mejor y más atrevida amiga, Daisy, no está dispuesta a dejarla escapar. Juntas, Aza y Daisy recorrerán la corta distancia y las enormes diferencias que les separan del hijo de Russell Pickett, Davis. Aza lo está intentando. Trata de ser una buena hija, una buena amiga, una buena estudiante y, tal vez, incluso una buena detective, mientras vive en la espiral cada vez más oscura de sus propios pensamientos, una y mil veces hasta siempre. En este esperado regreso, John Green, el aclamado y premiado autor de Bajo la misma estrella, Ciudades de papel o El teorema Katherine, nos cuenta, con una claridad desgarradora e inquebrantable, la historia de Aza en esta brillante novela sobre el amor, la resiliencia y el poder de la amistad para toda la vida.

Reading this terrified me. I felt so connected to Aza that I can feel her fears, I can feel her anxiety and I can feel how frustated she is with her own thoughts. And I love that John Green is focused on the main aspect "mental health" instead of making it into boy-cures-everything kinda book. If you asked me, who my favorite character is, I would say Noah is my favorite. He doesn't get involved too much in this book, but everytime he confessed of how he missed his father, how he does everything just to get his father coming back is just so... heart breaking and I sympathize him a lot.

*4.5
I didn’t plan to read this in a day but as soon as I got past Chapter 1, I was ALL IN. 
I missed John Green. I missed his writing. There were so many stunning quotes in this book; he truly is a fantastic writer. 
I found Aza to be absolutely fascinating. I did relate to her on some occasions but mostly, we are two very different human beings. I found her struggle to be so eye-opening and real. I loved her best friend, Daisy. I loved Davis. I loved how all of the relationships in this story were dealt with such care and authenticity. I found myself loving everything. This book just feels important; I feel like it’s a book I’ll be thinking about for months.
The only reason this isn’t a 5 star is because of the plot. It couldn’t quite figure itself out. It was one way and then diverted from that to something else but then went back? I thought that could’ve been stronger or more concrete. Regardless, I really loved this. I don’t even think I can fully express details for why I did. The perfect read at the perfect time.

it really took me a while to think what i should rate about this book. i love and hate this book simultaneously that shows how much of a hard time i had. for the first john green novel i’ve ever read, i can totally see why people really like him as a writer. although i really find these deep philosophical dialogue and writing to be mostly unrealistic (though i quite enjoy reading his writing that’s...interesting) and the way this mystery plot to just be the background of what’s really a relationship between aza and davis, i do applaud green for portraying an underlying theme that can resonate well with many people who have a hard time with their mental health. i also want to praise for bringing an evocative visual on his mental health without making aza, the main character, truly about him.

note: i’m pretty intriguing of what his other books can make me feel. let me know what’s really the best john green book that might top turtles all the way down.

can't believe i still find myself relating to a john green character even after high school ended !

I don't know what to think . . .

i didn’t think i’d like this book but i did end up really loving it. i thought it’d be more about the missing father but instead it took a different approach which i thought was interesting but anyways i loved it!

** spoiler alert **
           Disclaimer: I personally really love the Green brothers, as authors and as content creators.

Turtles All the Way Down follows Aza, a junior in high school incapable of experiencing high school "normally" due to tight, never-ending, all-consuming "thought spirals". Aza isn't new to these thought spirals but has been actively trying to go to therapy in an effort to feel present, attentive, and in control of her own being, without much success.

The writing here is incredible, a good mix of self-reflection, learning from others, and unfiltered honesty. What initially bothered me about the novel, but upon reflection realize it was intentional, is we know relatively very little about the surrounding characters around Aza. However, this is a topic mentioned in the novel by her best friend, and I believe Green, through his writing, was giving us Aza's world-view, and how these all-consuming thoughts left little, if any, room to absorb and process her relationships and what's around her.

These thought spirals, her way of describing the inescapable cycle of OCD and anxiety that prompts irrational thoughts are, to me, the real strength of this novel. Green tries to articulate what we all struggle with when it comes to pain and reflects on this in the novel - how language inevitably fails us when we try to articulate our pain or powerlessness to intrusive (AKA "invasive") thoughts so we turn to metaphors. Additionally, while done with the best intentions, Aza describes why the constant asking/declaring that someone is "improving" or "feeling better" is exhausting, burdensome, and causes even more stress, as you know they want reassurance you're okay when you aren't.

I did appreciate that this was a "slice of life" and Aza was honest about where she is at, and tried to explain to others that they should not "wait" until she is "better". I'm not sure how it relates to people with diagnosed OCD and/or anxiety, but as someone who's always anxious, a lot of these thought processes resonated with me. However, I give this 4 stars because both the major story outside of the character development and the massive fight between Aza and her best friend Daisy had gotten resolved/ended so abruptly.

This book had all the potential of having some great twist, or like any interesting thing happen but it just didn’t. It started off with a huge mystery but then 50 pages in the most interesting part was just dealt with. I really don’t understand what the point of this book was.
