She's aware of the risks these men pose—she's watched a documentary about them—but she's also discovered a heady freedom in these online conversations, and the things they allow her to say.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Juno meets Owen_Wilson223— or, to use his real name, Benu—she senses an immediate connection between them, even though they're separated by thousands of miles. Gradually, they reveal more and more about themselves to each other—about their real selves, and about who they really want to be. And just as Juno sees through Benu's lies, he sees through hers too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHey, Good Morning, How Are You?\u003c\/i\u003e is a whirlwind of a novel. It's about yearning to stay young while age marches on; it's about how to stay truthful while the internet changes everything; it's about love and desire in all their many, conflicting forms. And most of all, it's a novel about the way we are all connected, by the same constellations and the same night sky, however different our circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486111711468,"sku":"9780241772683","price":38.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780241772683-hey-good-morning-how-are-you.jpg?v=1775728486"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/martina-hefter.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
