Summary

#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 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" - Guardian

"Wise, tender and engaging" - People, Book of the Week

"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

Critic reviews

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

Thought-provoking and captivating

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.

Wise, tender and engaging

A classic portrait of young love

Sharply relevant in today’s landscape of constant attention and the pressure of a public life

Green’s storytelling is astute, empathic, and magnetizing

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

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

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

Most relevant

I read a few of the low-star reviews and realised people’s experience of this book can be so different from mine. In my opinion, the characters are very well developed; the story gives you a glimpse into the back office of Hollywood and possibly actors’ craft. I think the characters are letting us in on the story as well as letting themselves to discover each other and themselves. I’ve enjoyed it; I’ve listened to it outside of my regular listening sessions, which means I was hooked. Sorry, John and Hank, I chose the book over going on YT and watching one of your videos ;) Great work, John!
