Great book but not as strong as the first one. I kept being curious about the ending and found it interesting how explanations of Carl's perspectives were covered where I would get the gist but not quiet understand it completely. I missed Robin since I loved him as a character. Good sequel and interesting story.

Okay, I LOVED the first book. And then this was the sequel. And it’s fine. But it was also a let down.
It got really weird and very sci fi and like deep into AI which just isn’t my jam.
So it wrapped it up sure. But it was just not it for me.

This book is absolutely fucking brilliant and I would read Hank Green writes is for certain.
It however was not as brilliant and exciting and unpredicatble as the first. I loved how uncertain we were about Carls in the first book it was thrilling and adventures. We get all our answers here it kind of feels info dumpy. And I really wish it was something else. Idk what but just something a little different. The tone is kind of different but not a bad different just I prefer the first one more.
It also feels like a perfect pandemic book..even though I think it was written before that. With all the ideas it explores.
I love how Hank Green's brain works. And I wish I could meet him and John Green but I know I'd be startuck and just embarass myself.

Aaah finally finished it! My thoughts are pretty jumbled up right now.

I JUST SAW THIS ON HANK'S INSTAGRAM. THIS HAS A TITLE, A SYNOPSIS AND A RELEASE DATE. EXCITED IS A VERY A SMALL WORD FOR WHAT I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW. BRB SCREAMING.

Probably more around *3.5 or 3.75
I think this is the weaker of the two, but still very very entertaining.
Focusing more on the side characters was a very great idea for the book, especially as it was really interesting following them. Andy is probably one of the stronger characters and Miranda's plot is also interesting. Unfortunately, it had to take a backseat in the second part of the book.
Maya and April... yeah, I'm not sure about those two. They actually feel like the less interesting part of the book.
Also, not including Robin in the story was SUCH a wasted opportunity, especially remembering his last confession during book one. It would have been a great plotline for him to deal with guilt and try his best to have a positive impact. Honestly, him being a "friend", but having no involvement was a very lame thing to do.
