An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
4.0
This was gifted to me for my birthday by a close friend who knows my taste in book pretty well, so I went it with an open mind and completely blind.
This was the first book I had read since graduation that was a non-academic, "fun" reading book. This did not disappoint! It was not what I was expecting and really kept me engaged the entire time. I am not usually a quick reader but this book kept pulling me, I was on the edge of my seat until the end! I really enjoyed the writing style-- it was easily palatable, albeit that does lead to a few awkward/cringe phrases and dialogue sometimes but it didn't bother me too much.
The story felt extraordinarily relevant to the contemporary human experience and it forced me to take it a little more seriously as it explored questions about existence we all find ourselves navigating.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, lighter novel that continues to provoke questions that make you want to keep reading all the way through the last page. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
