We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.
Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
A behind-the-scenes Hollywood love story that brilliantly confronts the private cost of a public life
For rising young actors Kai Laramie and Juniper Castillo, being cast in the buzzy biopic Andy Warhol Never Gets Old is the opportunity they’ve been waiting for. They’re on the verge of breaking out, and maybe even falling in love. 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 unflinching examination of the insatiable attention economy. Told through dual points of view, the novel follows Kai and Juniper from their first days on location to the movie’s premiere, brilliantly juxtaposing their story with the on-screen study of Warhol’s life at the dawn of celebrity culture.
Hollywood, Ending is a deeply observed novel about the tension between a public and a private life, and finding your safe someone to hold onto. Tender, heartbreaking, and shrewdly funny, this is a story as only Green can tell it.
It’s been years since I last read a John Green book, but this one has me intrigued again! The title and cover drew me in and the synopsis was interesting enough to get me to stay. I think that the setting of this sounds incredible, behind the scenes of the set of a Hollywood movie with up and coming actors. It’s sounds like a lot of fun and I hope this one will be what I’m imagining haha.
John Green’s books used to be incredibly popular, everyone on the internet seemed to have read them. Especially The Fault in Our Stars. Knowing this one is also described as heartbreaking, I’m expecting to shed some tears while reading this new release haha. I haven’t seen any early reviews yet, so I don’t have much expectations beyond it being heartbreaking but also funny.
Were you a fan of John Green back in the day? Are you excited for this release? Let me know down below!
