    First thing you've got to know is I've been consuming John Green content since 2013. I read The Fault in Our Stars, discovered his YouTube channel Vlogbrothers, and have been a fan ever since. Frankly, I would read his grocery lists.

    Obviously, I know only the version of John Green that John Green shares with the world—his videos, his podcasts, his other books, etc. That being said, I think this is the most "John Green" book of his books. A lot of the commentary he makes in Hollywood, Ending he has said before in other formats. I enjoyed the more fleshed-out and cohesive version here; the book certainly explores deeper into art vs artist vs consumer and what celebrities owe fans and how the media machine consumes us all, than can be discussed in a 4 minute or less YouTube video.

    I loved the characters and the prose. I loved the choice to break the book into four sections and give both Juniper and Kai equal narration between the parts (dual narrative romances are superior, change my mind).

    I only wish I had done homework on Andy Warhol before reading; I think I would have appreciated the references a little bit more.

    A new fave! image

    The hardest part of any fantasy book is drinking from the world building fire hose for the first 10-20%. What's going on? Who are these people? Will my brain remember any of this? image
