latest read: turtles all the way down


John Green's earlier bestseller, The Fault in Our Stars, did not impress me. So I had second thoughts when picking up this book. Nonetheless, I did and I was not disappointed.
I like the way it is written and to a certain degree, can relate to the inner voice of the main character who is suffering extreme OCD. The story line itself is pretty simple but the intertwining of characters is what is interesting with this book to me.
Ultimately, it is a story about relationship - between fathers and sons, mother and daughter, between friends and also between a boy and a girl.
