Almost done with Hollywood, Ending by John Green

Not what I'd normally read, but i liked Greens writing in The Anthropocene Reviewed and wanted to give his fiction a shot. I am enjoying the book, which is mainly about two young Actors who meet during shooting a Movie about Andy Warhol, which puts them in the spotlight of media outlets and lands them their next role in a major Blockbuster Movie.

Both of them had traumatizing things happening to them in their childhood, which now comes into focus during the presstour for the Warhol Movie.

I'd guess the book is mainly about how past trauma still influences those who endured it and a bit about the conflict between industrialized entertainment and the work of creating art itself and the effects that industry has on the artists.

overall: good book, glad i left my fantasy comfort zone for a bit.
