An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
4.0
4.5 stars
This one might become a favorite if I re-read it but as of now I am not completely sure.
It falls right into my alley of innovative, funny yet dramatic, pieces of art with realistic characters. April May is more of an anti hero in this story but somehow you can't help but root for her. The writing is witty and Hank Green definitely has his own style and isn't just following in the footsteps of John. I love that this book is about adults and not teens, and that he took on such an ambitious topic for his first novel.
There are so many themes to unpack here, but most of all this book made me think of all the polarization that is happening due to covid at the moment.
Anyway, I would recommend this book to most people really. Just don't listen to the audiobook, I tried and I hated it.
