A real page turner that honestly killed me. It was thought-provoking and engaging and filled with juicy nuggets of random information that my brain will forever store. Immediately ordered the next book in the series because I desperately need to know what happens next!

AHHHHHHHHHH! Djdjencirnskakeigncn 
Pardon that bit of keysmash, I couldn't contain my excitement. This was so good, insightful, deep, troubling, hopeful, beautiful, and so many other words that can be used to describe humans.

This book was amazing! It is sci-fi which is not something I usually love but what made this book so special is the humanity of it. The story - even though abstract and weird - is told in a way that makes me believe it. It reads like a kind of autobiography with an unreliable narrator. Throughout the book it gets hinted that the narrator is actually dead which is confusing but also we only know as much as the people knew at that point in the story.

This book also made me extremely angry. Hank Green manages to capture pure humanity and the basic human flaws in such a magnificently realistic way. He manages to name things that have always bothered me and the reactions of the characters to this crazy situation is absolutely realistic. I don't doubt for a second that if this would have been reality it could have been exactly like this.

Also our protagonist is extremely flawed. Still we root for her because she is our way into the story. She is the one that tells us about it but still she is pretty crappy sometimes and even aware if that. 

I love this book so much. And since the last few books I've read were all spectacular in their own way I fear those words may sound hollow - but they are nevertheless true. This was captivating, interesting, realistic and so so humbling.

And also the cliffhanger in the end makes me scream!! I am so glad the sequel is out already because otherwise I may have hated this book purely because of this.
