i will always be obsessed with clues, with a puzzle, with easter eggs, with insanity, with batshit crazy bisexuals, with worldwide quests, with intricate and insanely specific pieces of knowledge, with community, with love, with friendship, with science, with music, with aliens, with competition, with female presidents of the united states, with plots that shouldn't work but magnificently do, with narrators who are self aware and kinda suck, with this book.

i did not expect to love this book so much, but I was hooked by the very first paragraph. an absolutely remarkable thing is what the title says, remarkable. it is genuinely insane and stressful and has no reason to exist and i have no idea how hank green came up with the plot. i also have no idea how hank green understands bisexual women so well. this was such an enticing read, i'm so excited to read the sequel and i'll be thinking about this forever.
