I want to give this book all the stars and then some! It kept me completely captivated and the narrator is excellent! Mr. Green’s portion the end was the cherry on top! April May (her name made me giggle and her character is 100% someone who would be named April May) finds a massive 10ft tall sculpture in the streets of New York. She makes a video with her friend Andy that starts a journey she couldn’t have expected. I deeply appreciated how intelligent the science of this books was and felt but also that it wasn’t so nuanced the average person like me couldn’t comprehend it. The little rag tag team of characters felt like actual friends and their troubles also felt relatable. I find it’s hard for male authors to write female characters but I didn’t feel that way with this book. An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is truly that, absolutely remarkable. I’m also really glad I have the second book already purchased after that ending which gave me real life goosebumps!
