As someone who loves Hank Green's YouTube videos, this was a super fun read. The characters are perfectly tuned to the story and the plot is full of element, that peaked my interest individually. It also seems thouroughly researched, everything seeming realistic even if it should happen to be unconventional.

The jokes seemed a bit stiff sometimes (especially in tweets) but I would believe that this wouldn't have happened if the translator chose a more relaxed syntax/punctuation.

The arc of suspense was a bit weak and too straightforward at times, but in the end, it still worked out beautifully and I wouldn't want to change a thing about it!
