This is my first John Green, and knowing little about him, I'd never imagined that he had had such a similar and relatable experience with depression and anxiety to myself. I've really been going through it recently and I was surprised by how much it helped. Often I find narratives about mental health alienating, not because they are "wrong" but because they don't align at all with my own experience. I really loved some of the writing about illness in general, and about how fraught it can be to try and talk to someone who is ill (from both sides).
I really enjoyed his perspective and his curiosity. It would be a fun personal project to make my own little reviews from my own little puddle of the Anthropocene.
