Bookroo's summary

Aza Holmes never planned to hunt for a missing billionaire, but a hefty reward and her fearless friend Daisy pull her into the mystery. As they delve deeper, Aza battles her own spiraling thoughts, trying to be a good friend, daughter, and detective. Can she solve the case without losing herself? The stakes are high, and the lines between friendship and love blur as they navigate the divides between them and the billionaire's son, Davis. Will Aza find the answers she seeks, or will her inner struggles consume her?

From the publisher

The critically acclaimed, instant #1 bestseller by John Green, author of The Anthropocene Reviewed and The Fault in Our Stars NOW STREAMING ON MAX! “A tender story about learning to cope when the world feels out of control.” –People”A sometimes heartbreaking, always illuminating, glimpse into how it feels to live with mental illness.” -NPR John Green, the award-winning, international bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed, returns with a story of shattering, unflinching clarity in this brilliant novel of love, resilience, and the power of lifelong friendship. Aza Holmes never intended to pursue the disappearance 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 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.
