I truly value moments when the right book finds me at the right time and this is one of those moments. I want to separate this review from the John Green-ness of it all because I do worry that his name makes it hard for certain people to believe the hype.

What really needs to be said is that this book, more than any article or medical text, has helped me bridge the gap between real mental and medical problems some of my closest loved ones have attempted to describe to me and my own fairly neurotypical experiencing of the world. Simply put, yes, it's well written (as is to be expected), but moreover I think it has made me a better and more understanding person and for that I'm so thankful. This book gave me a toolkit when I was grasping at straws.

Bravo to the team behind Turtles All the Way Down, y'all put out a really fine piece of YA.
