In just the first chapter, the reader is introduced to Aza and her anxiety, which she will frequently describe as a “thought spiral,” when she gets sucked into one thought. Since she used to be friends with the fugitive’s son, Davis, Aza is pulled in right alongside Daisy.Īt a closer look, however, it is shown that the mystery is only a part of the novel, which is mainly centered on how Aza’s mental illness affects her life. Aza’s best friend, Daisy, is after the one-hundred-thousand-dollar reward that is given to anyone who can provide information leading to the whereabouts of billionaire Russell Pickett. At first glance, “Turtles All the Way Down” is a mystery novel in which Aza steps up, despite her anxiety, to become a great detective (not unlike the plot of John Green’s “Paper Towns” or “Looking for Alaska,” with both containing star protagonists who solve the mysteries involved with the girls they have romantic interests in). “Turtles All the Way Down,” written by bestselling author John Green, follows a 16-year-old girl, Aza, who is struggling with mental illness.
