Sixteen year-old Aza is slightly different from other girls. What bothers her more than studying, romance, and the goings on of high school drama, is bacteria. It sounds really weird, and it actually is. When this book started, she is stuck inside of her brain thinking about bacteria that might be inside her body in the cafeteria. Her best friend Daisy is a fearless girl, and asks Aza to investigate the mystery of fugitive billionaire Russel Pickett because there is a hundred-thousand dollar reward at stake. They start trying to find out about Mr. Pickett’s mystery, and Daisy introduces Aza to Mr. Pickett’s son, Davis. They fall in love once they meet, but Aza struggles because of thoughts that she can never escape: anxiety over bacteria. She knows that she likes Davis, and he likes her. However, she cannot do what she wants to do because of the bacteria thoughts. She ends up hospitalized because she has a car accident, and she drinks hand sanitizer. That sounds crazy and that is actually crazy, but I really liked the way this author writes this scene because I can look into Aza’s mind while she is doing it. I was so impressed that this author uses capital letters and bold letters to express a mood of the incidence. I could even feel as if I am inside the character. That is surprising because drinking hand sanitizer is what I would never do, but I can still understand why she is doing it.
Also, I loved the way the book ended. The ending is one of the reasons why I read another book by John Green. When I read his book, “The Fault in Our Stars,” I liked how the author ended the story not as a tragedy. He did not let me down for this one, either. It ends as if all of this story was someone’s old tale (probably older Aza’s) and the ending seems to be somewhat sad, but I did not find it to be sad because of the story teller’s tone.
