Discussion Post for Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
[ID: an off white book cover with black text that looks like it was written with a paintbrush saying "Turtles All the Way Down John Green" encircled by a descending bright orange swirl. Small beige text in cursive to the left says “#1 bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars”. The book sits on a spread of loose book pages on a gray wooden floor. It’s surrounded by bright orange fake orchids, an enamel bookmark with moons on it, and an origami crane. To the left of the book is string of Scrabble tiles spelling out, “Book Club” with a tiny black turtle at the bottom.]
