5.0

This is the third time I have read this book and every time I read it I still get so caught up in the mystery. It is such a fun and exciting read. The world of the Carl's that Hank has created is so interesting and detailed. The characters are really complex, and even when they make mistakes you still find yourself rooting for them. 

However, what I love the most about this book is Hank's really nuanced and interesting treatment of social media and the idea of celebrity. It is wonderful to see a book that is neither saying it is all bad or all good. I love this book so much, and it's incredible to have such an exciting story that also discusses something really important in a nuanced way.
