It's Absolutely Remarkable!

Novel Finds

10/02/22 • 59 min

It's an absolutely remarkable thing...or is it? Today your Novel Finds gals are joined by Nichole to chat all about one of her favorite novels An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green. It's a Sci-Fi novel all about robots, fame, and ambition. We loved sitting down to chat about the choices we'd make, Carls, Hank Green's marvelous use of tone, and how social media can both help and harm our self-image and friendships. There's also talk of fame...are we famous? What fame tier are we a part of? (this makes sense after listening to the episode...I promise). It's a fun one, and it might be one of our all time favorites! We hope you enjoy and, as always, thank you for being a Novel Friend.
