Where were you when the Carls appeared? Join the #Squad for a discussion of Hank Green’s debut novel, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. We talk about the book’s unique angle on its themes, voice and characterization, and what the heck new adult lit is. Plus we read some listener feedback on the Gunners and get into what’s on the #BookSquadBlog right now (lots of TV recaps!). Look out for our next #othersode on 6/3, our very first #travelsode as the #Squad takes on New Orleans together. Then read along with us for our next #bookpisode on Rachel Kushner’s The Mars Room on June 17! Don’t forget to rate, review, subscribe and send your feedback to thesquad@booksquadgoals.com!
