Hollywood, Ending

#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.

"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" - New York Times
