Spontaneous

Spontaneous

<b>"Aaron Starmer skillfully welds sharp humor, deep loss, and roaring escapades. Truly the smartest and funniest book about spontaneous combustion you will ever read." €"John Green, #1 bestselling author of <i>The Fault In Our Stars</i></b><br><br>With all the perfectly lovely young adult novels out there, you decided to check this one out? It€s got spontaneously combusting teenagers in it, dude. Not the slow burning type either. We€re talking the randomly exploding variety. Seniors in high school just walking along, heading to class, whistling Beyonc©, when€"WA-BAM!€" they€re suddenly dripping off the lockers. <br>  <br> Is that really something you€re into?<br>  <br> Confession: I€m actually kinda into that too. So, now that we€ve established we€re both thoroughly weird and, I assume, thoroughly open-minded, we can give it shot, right? Let€s at least read the opening chapters of this bad-boy and see if it features some of the more intriguing elements such as...<br>  <br> -       Exploding teenagers (obviously).<br> -       Hallucinogenic mushrooms.<br> -       Pyromaniacal boyfriends.<br> -       Triplet toddlers in powder blue suits.<br> -       Amur leopards and doomsday preppers. <br> -       A foul-mouthed female POTUS.<br> -       Ashtanga yoga. <br> -       ­Youtube sensations.<br> -       Self-driving Priuses.<br> -       Rogue FBI agents.<br> -       Mad scientists.<br> -       Homecoming.<br> -       Spring break.<br> -       Prom. <br> -       And €¦ Jennifer Lawrence. <br>  <br> Notice how I put Jennifer Lawrence last. She€s in the book, so it€s not cheating. And hey, if it takes America€s most beloved movie star to sell this thing, then that€s what it takes. <br><br> So, in closing: Jennifer Lawrence.<br>  <br>"<b>Wildly inventive</b>."<i> €" Entertainment Weekly</i> "Must List"<br><br>"This <b>comically surreal novel </b>that will blow your mind.€€" <i>People </i>Magazine<br><br>˜… "A blood-soaked, laugh-filled, tear-drenched, <b>endlessly compelling </b>read." €" <i>Kirkus</i>, starred review<br><br>˜… "A wholly original YA tale of identity, friendship, love, lust, and gory, grisly death." €" <i>SLJ</i>, starred review<br><br>"<b>Bursting with heartache and gore</b>, Mara€s narration appeals directly to readers€<br>senses of horror and humor." €" <i>Horn Book</i>
