Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

I have been a fan of John Green for years. In his latest novel, Turtles All the Way Down, he gives readers an excellent picture of what it means to suffer, to be imperfect and yet be loved. What starts as a mystery, soon becomes the story of one teen's struggle to understand (or rather decide) if she is a whole person.

This book is an incredible inside-look into the fears and identity crises we all have experienced manifested intensely inside one girl.

When Aza discovers a long-ago friend's billionaire father goes missing, she and her friend Daisy decide they will try and solve the missing-person case for the offered reward.  But as they dig into the past to find clues, they discover more about themselves than they do the case, resulting in a series of life-changing events.

Green again gives readers uncompromising characters who are able to be funny, honest, raw and likable. This is my favorite of his to date.
