John’s most recent book Hollywood, Ending, debuted at #1 on The New York Times best seller’s list. The novel is centered around two actors and how their lives continue to change through their roles.

His blockbuster novels The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns were adapted into major feature films by Fox 2000 and Temple Hill.
