This book is truly an absolutely remarkable thing. Hank Greens writing is incredible and has the ability to make you think about humanity and also make you laugh out loud making you friends look at you with concerned faces. I love this book and I BEG you to read it. I feel like this book has the ability to unite us all, just like the April May did.

Hank Green managed to write a spot-on satire of the Covid-19 pandemic several years before it happened, pinpointing the source of our intense division and the misery of being more connected than ever but ever more alone... And he did it without it being a pretentious slog, in a book with mechas, puzzles, and a true sense of wonder. While some aspects of it may grate (the sometimes overly twee dialogue that his brother also seems to love to employ) his use of specific details and his deeply flawed heroine keep this book grounded and the pages fly by. Bravo all around.

Not a personal favorite but excellent ending. I believe if Green had spent half as much time putting any of the kind of Carl-driven action of the last few chapters as he did focusing on why April is so into herself, I would have liked it more. But I think that’s the point and I know that’s only a matter of personal opinion. A win for complex and complicated main characters.
