A note for parents
Turtles All the Way Down is a character-driven YA novel centered on a teen with OCD and anxiety navigating a missing-person mystery and her relationships. The book treats mental illness thoughtfully and realistically, showing both the internal struggle and the support systems that matter, but the emotional weight and introspective exploration of depression and intrusive thoughts make it best suited to older teens. Language is occasional and mild; sexual content is limited to kissing and brief references; the overall tone is hopeful despite dark themes.
