#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.
"Wise, tender and engaging." --People, Book of the Week
"Sharply relevant in today's landscape of constant attention and the pressure of a public life." --TODAY, Reading Picks for Fall
"Green's storytelling is astute, empathic, and magnetizing." --Booklist, starred review
For rising talents 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 brilliantly juxtaposes the on-screen study of Warhol's life at the dawn of celebrity culture with the intimate struggles of two young people figuring out who they are, both together and alone.
Tender, heartbreaking, and shrewdly funny, this is a story as only Green can tell it. Hollywood, Ending is a deeply observed novel about the tension between a public and a private life, and the audacity to pursue the kind of love we all deserve.

My favorite John Green Book so far.
Read this all in one sitting, I just couldn't put it down.John writes about people and life so well.
This was a good read. Parts are predictable, but the ending wraps things up well, and is not a cynical as it might have been. Recommended.
I was invested in this from page one. John Green somehow makes you want to know what happens next, even if it means you have to eat leftovers because you don’t want to put it down to make dinner. I’m not really interested in movie making or actors, but this was still such a good book, because it really drove home that everybody is just a person after all, and nobody is immune to the good or bad things that happen to all of us. So it was a very human story that even if you’re nothing like any of the characters, you’ll surely find something in it to relate to. Great book.
I was so excited that John Green wrote a novel outside the YA genre. He did not disappoint! Excellent story from 2 perspectives. Emotional and a great inside glimpse into the machine of Hollywood… and it’s got a love story and just felt so real, poignant, authentic. Highly recommend. (Also huge praise for the audiobook too—such excellent renderings of Kai and Juniper)
