Starting off 2021 with an absolutely fantastic read! This was a fun, wild ride through the world of fame, social media, human connection, and some really weird sh*t. I had a great time reading this one, and was fully engrossed in the story the entire time. The plot is so creative, unique, and engaging, and because of that you really never know where the story is going to end up. I also loved the way this book talked so much about fame and the power of social media, and the effects both have on a person's psyche and relationships with the people around them. Hank Green was able to explore a lot of different aspects of fame and the media along with everything else happening in the book, and it's a testament to the story that he was able to fit so much in and I was never bored. I love a quotable book, and there were so many places I wanted to underline or make a note of that I now need to buy this book! I can't recommend this one enough, but I hope it's not an omen for what might happen in 2021...
