Spontaneous

Spontaneous

"Aaron Starmer skillfully welds sharp humor, deep loss, and roaring escapades. Truly the smartest and funniest book about spontaneous combustion you will ever read." â€”John Green, #1 bestselling author of The Fault In Our Stars

AÂ TIME magazine Top 10 YA & Children's Book of 2016

With all the perfectly lovely young adult novels out there, you decided to check this one out? Itâ€™s got spontaneously combusting teenagers in it, dude. Not the slow burning type either. Weâ€™re talking the randomly exploding variety. Seniors in high school just walking along, heading to class, whistling BeyoncÃ©, whenâ€”WA-BAM!â€” theyâ€™re suddenly dripping off the lockers.
Â
Is that really something youâ€™re into?
Â
Confession: Iâ€™m actually kinda into that too. So, now that weâ€™ve established weâ€™re both thoroughly weird and, I assume, thoroughly open-minded, we can give it shot, right? Letâ€™s at least read the opening chapters of this bad-boy and see if it features some of the more intriguing elements such as...
Â
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Exploding teenagers (obviously).
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Hallucinogenic mushrooms.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Pyromaniacal boyfriends.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Triplet toddlers in powder blue suits.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Amur leopards and doomsday preppers.Â
-Â Â Â Â Â Â A foul-mouthed female POTUS.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Ashtanga yoga.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â ÂYoutube sensations.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Self-driving Priuses.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Rogue FBI agents.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Mad scientists.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Homecoming.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Spring break.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Prom.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â And â€¦ Jennifer Lawrence.
Â
Notice how I put Jennifer Lawrence last. Sheâ€™s in the book, so itâ€™s not cheating. And hey, if it takes Americaâ€™s most beloved movie star to sell this thing, then thatâ€™s what it takes.

So, in closing: Jennifer Lawrence.
