3.75? I found the story compelling, but it was a little too internet culture/man writing a woman for me to fully enjoy it. The look into fame and motivations was interesting, for sure. But I wanted more detail around the central mystery itself! That's my personal preference for genre stuff, so I don't really hold it against the author. The audiobook narrator was... Fine.

i mostly liked this book. i was a bit taken out of the story at times because often the characters talk exactly like hank green, which is not necessarily bad but hank green is not a 23 year old girl.

At first I was disappointed that this book was more of a commentary on our times of social media madness and political division, I was hoping for much more sci-fi. But once I got into it, damn it’s so good and smart and funny and insightful and brutal and unexpected. I will happily skip right on the the next one.

This was an interesting reading experience. I was interested in the story, but I didn’t love it. The characters were intriguing and I liked April for the most part she’s unlikable(that’s the point), but it was frustrating to read at times. This was funny and interesting and I learned a lot about some random topics which I enjoyed. I did also like the commentary about fame as well as like hate groups and humanity. I think I will continue on with the series because the ending was kind of shocking and I did enjoy the last 100 pages a lot. I also like how this was told and how the narrator would speak to us at times.

I read this in one day, it was such a captivating store I couldn’t stop, I had to know what happened next. This is my first Hank Green book I’ve read and I will have to read more. This story is about a woman who comes across a large sculpture in New York, thinks it is great and ends up going viral and starting a movement. Highly recommend!!!
