Life- It goes on...
-Robert frost
After the John Green’s award-wining first novel “Looking for Alaska”, we are pretty sure that he has a way in book titles. I am not a fan of YA but always keep picking John Green books. He has his style of bringing some major issues faced by teens which are ignored or laughed at by adults.
The narrator; Aza, a high school kid, with a terrible anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder has only one friend; Daisy,a carefree blooming writer. The story starts with the breaking news of a billionaire turned fugitive “Mr. Russell Pickett” for a fraud. Tempted by the reward of hundred thousand dollars for information leading to Pickett’s arrest, Daisy takes Aza on a search for the hiding billionaire.Remembering the fact Daisy's past with Davis,Mr. Pickett’s son,can be used an advantage in winning the bounty. Learning such, Aza comes and contacts him but soon realizes her feelings for Davis. Later, the story goes on by self contemplation of the characters in search for answers in life and Aza learning that she is depicted in Daisy's fan-fic story. As expected from the author is a major plot twist in the end that will make reading more than worth it.
"You pick your endings and your beginning, you get to pick the frame, you know? Maybe you don't choose what's in the picture, but you decide the frame." –Daisy Ramirez
We spend a large amount of time in Aza’s mind, watching her fighting with her thoughts and reading the book tells about the value of friendship, trust, loyalty and the last but not the least about letting the others go for their own good.
