Lighness pulls you into a well-structured story

5 stars

I loved this book. I had recently come across entertainment with horrible dialog. I was so happy with the funny and snappy dialog of this book. And the plot was silly, engaging.

Then through all the humor, a theme creeps in. Hank Green is a youtuber (if you didn't know), and I like the writing on his science vids. Here he applies the same concision toward how fame and money in the internet age can effect you and your relationships.

The lightness and silliness pulls you in until you realize that you are deeply thoughtful and find you have passed through an ordeal with the characters. I cried cathartic tears by the end. I will have to read part two ASAP.
