To a normal person, Aza might seem to be very crazy, but I could understand her thoughts and they didn't seem unnatural at all (even though bizarre). That is where Green never fails, the charactersq he creates are very relatable and mostly adorable, even though flawed in numerous ways. Aza's illness keeps on worsening throughout the book. At one point I felt like she would commit suicide and I so not wanted this to happen. For once, ...
