Now a new motion picture starring Katherine Langford, Charlie Plummer, and Hayley Law!
“Truly the smartest and funniest book about spontaneous combustion you will ever read.” –John Green, #1 bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars
Mara Carlyle’s senior year is going as normally as could be expected, until fellow senior Katelyn Ogden explodes during third period pre-calc. Katelyn is the first, but she won’t be the last teenager to blow up without warning or explanation. As the national eye turns to Mara’s suburban New Jersey hometown, the FBI rolls in and the search for a reason is on. Mara narrates the end of their world as she knows it while trying to make it to graduation in one piece. It’s an explosive year punctuated by romance, quarantine, lifelong friendship, hallucinogenic mushrooms, bloggers, ice cream trucks, and Bon Jovi.
Aaron Starmer rewrites the rulebook with Spontaneous. But beneath the outrageous is a ridiculously funny, super honest, and truly moving exemplar of the absurd and raw truths of being a teenager in the 21st century . . . and the heartache of saying goodbye.
“Wildly inventive.” –Entertainment Weekly “Must List”
“A comically surreal novel that will blow your mind.” –People Magazine
WTF?!?!? This was weird. Fake deep, wondering why the hell I read it. Pointless.
Nothings found out, nothing is resolved, nothing happens but a bunch of kids blow up for no reason and the protagonist does drugs and loses her virginity and fucks over her best friend.
And ya'll know me so it's not the drugs, sex, and gore that's a problem. It somehow is mind-numbingly boring, a hipster deepity
At least I finished it....I kept thinking something, anything was going to happen and move forward instead of the rutting around, but nope.
Skip it. Seriously. Waste of time. I'm not even going to properly review it because ugh.
