I thought this book was better than The Fault in Our Stars, John Green's most famous book. I just loved the characters in Turtles All the Way Down so much. Aza, the main character, is the type of person I would want to be friends with: she is introspective, thoughtful, kind, deep, smart, and fun. Her struggles with OCD were realistically portrayed. Davis, Aza's love interest, seems like he would be fun to hang around with, since he loves poetry, astronomy, and science fiction--and he matured a lot over the course of the book. I don't know if I would want to be friends with Daisy, but I was intrigued by her Chewbacca fanfic and wished it were real (not the Ayala parts, though). I even liked the weird little tuatara. The characters all had their faults and foibles, but that just made them seem all the more realistic. This book gave me a lot to think about, and I believe it will stick with me for a long time.
