Description:
Review quote:
In an era in which more and more people must market themselves on social media, courting the dizzying highs and crushing lows of fame, Green still hopes we’ll find something better
Review quote:
Thought-provoking and captivating
Review quote:
Green’s novel of betrayal and survival, trust and love is a fluent condemnation of the machine of commercialization and a paean to art . . . A spellbinding, tender, incisive, funny, and compassionate story of love and creativity.
Review quote:
Wise, tender and engaging
Review quote:
A classic portrait of young love
Review quote:
Sharply relevant in today’s landscape of constant attention and the pressure of a public life
Review quote:
Green’s storytelling is astute, empathic, and magnetizing
Review quote:
Green’s a tender writer whose abiding concern through all his work is what it takes to remain decent in a ruthless and impersonal world. Once, that might have seemed a sentimental question. Today, it is more crucial than ever
Review quote:
A love story but also an interrogation of modern stardom, art and the struggle to be real in a social media-fueled world of artifice and performance. Come for the Hollywood intel, stay for the breathtaking passages
Review quote:
In the author’s anguished portrait of modern fame, the most challenging performance is that of an authentic self . . . Kai emerges vividly on the page. Green depicts the young man’s bewilderment with radiant empathy
Review quote:
It’s been nine years since Green last published fiction, but this story about what fame does to the people inside it is well worth the wait

Description:
#1 bestselling author John Green makes his much-anticipated return with a behind-the-scenes Hollywood love story.
For rising stars Kai Laramie and Juniper Castillo, being cast in the buzzy biopic Andy Warhol Never Gets Old is the opportunity they’ve both been waiting for. Soon the movie is blowing up, and so are their lives – in exciting, but also terrifying, ways.
John Green artfully blends a behind-the-scenes Hollywood love story with an examination of the private cost of a public life, in this masterful tale of two young people figuring out who they are, both together and alone.
Tender, heartbreaking and shrewdly funny, Hollywood, Ending is a deeply observed novel about finding your someone to trust in an untrustworthy world, and the audacity to pursue the kind of love we all deserve.
