I’m so speechless, that was excellent I have nothing to add. I was so worried the hype was BS, now I know it was not. Hank Green, you’re a genius. It’s like this book was MADE for me, helloooo queer people, political tension, a loveable but formidable being who is also perhaps a friend or maybe a foe? UGH LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I would give the book a much higher rating, but Hank Green managed to write one of the worst protagonists I've ever come across. Fuck, April May is just awful. I was rooting for her death from beginning to end of this damn book. She's just a pure scumbag to everyone around her. Annoying. Selfish, narcissist who was still worrying about views in the midst of dying!! Her character alone brought the entire book down. Had it been written from the perspective of literally any other character the book would have garnered a much higher rating. But as it is...

There is a lot to like about this book, and I'm looking forward to reading book 2. The humor was just ok, and the romance was weird and a little pointless. But the story is fantastic and creative.
