Turtles All the Way Down is about lifelong friendship, the intimacy of an unexpected reunion, Star Wars fan fiction, and tuatara.
Sixteen-year-old Aza never intended to pursue the mystery of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Russell Pickett’s son, Davis.
Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.
I like to tuck in stand-alone books in between series, or when I'm waiting for the next book to come in, so I have something to read but not a whole nother endeavor. I'd heard of John Green (who hasn't?), and have seen The Fault in Our Stars, so when I saw this was available to borrow, I thought, why not? I didn't read the blurb, didn't know anything going in, and boy did I get more than I bargained for.
