wow. just wow. this is the first i’ve read of john green and i see why he is so popular. the writing? the living through the mental illness with her? the title? the connection to the title? giving her the SPOILER —————-/PAINTING AND HER KEEPING IT FOREVER. fuck. no one says goodbye unless they want to see you again. this book was like reading the spiral of my own life on paper. 
a big problem i had with this is book is that basically after getting institutionalized, everything is better? it felt like the book had developed such a good and strong concept of how bad her mental health was and it just dipped off. 
also sad about davis, but i think that was greens way of making it “not a happy ending” but it was very fake and i feel unfinished. 
and daisy? fuck her. calling her a burden? i don’t care. that was fucked. SPOILER ava was literally drinking hand sanitizer for weeks but yeah sure daisy you’re the one who’s struggling. fuck i hated that
