While reading this, I couldn't understand why so many people disliked this book because I fucking LOVE it. I give it all the stars.
Our main character is a woman named Lu and she is an artist living in New York. Her best friend Dawn is her manager and her childhood friend True also lives in her building. We meet them while she is working on a piece and she checks Twitter and finds out that Keanu Reeves is going to be married..... in 90 DAYS!!! She completely has a mental break and Dawn and True keep getting her attention. She can't believe that Keanu would marry someone who isn't his soul mate.. who isn't her.
While she is not obsessing and denying that Keanu would actually get married, her friend True who has been harboring a crush on her since childhood, finds a way to help Lu on her K-90 quest, which is to find Keanu and get him to marry her instead. They go on rides at Coney Island where they become extras and then they go to a convention and run into so many other actors along the way, but never the elusive Keanu.
I have read the reviews from the people who disliked this book and I can understand why they didn't like it because the personalities of Lu and Dawn are very childish, but I loved their crass humor. While reading this, I also started missing fanfiction. This did read as a fanfiction for me at some point and I was immediately taken back to 2015 where that was the year where I read nothing but Hunger Games fanfiction and met some of my now best friends.
I also think the title is very fitting because when you read this book and get all the Keanu movie references and see what True was doing throughout the whole book, then you will see that he was trying to become Keanu Reeves in his own way for Lu.
I think this would be an amazing movie adaptation which of course will star Keanu Reeves. I need to make a fancast now.
