A review by sarahclaire
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green

5.0

I laughed, I cried and I am ready for the second book. Honestly the writing in this felt so different to anything I've ever read. I think because it is so extremely timely and yet universal. I loved how April was written and how, sometimes in the worst way, relatable she was. I was so frustrated with her for a lot of pages, but somehow in a good way. And the relationships between her and her friends or her parents were so beautifully realistic. I can really recommend this book.

(And how weird is it, that aliens in contemporary books about humans being a humans and how beautiful this is, with a mix of LGBTQ and PoC representation, is a whole thing that we're loving? I'm also looking at you Shaun David Hutchinson)
