About HOLLYWOOD, ENDING

#1 bestselling author John Green makes his much-anticipated return to fiction with a behind-the-scenes Hollywood love story about finding someone to trust in an untrustworthy world.
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 both 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 the 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 John Green can tell it.
With more than 60 million books in print worldwide, Green is the author of #1 bestselling novels TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, and LOOKING FOR ALASKA, as well as his #1 New York Times bestselling adult non-fiction THE ANTHROPOCENE REVIEWED and EVERYTHING IS TUBERCULOSIS. Green’s work has been translated into more than 60 languages and has been adapted for both film and television.
