✅

Splitting
You can do something like this:

first_part = response_html.split("</style>")[0] + "</style>"
second_part = response_html.split("</style>")[1]

And then have both first_part and second_part available as template context variables

return render(request, "book.html", {
    "style_section": first_part,
    "content_section": second_part,
    "reviews_widget": reviews_widget,
})

Rendering as HTML rather than as string
You can use mark_safe to get it to display as rendered HTML in the template. Consider carefully if you’re able to do this as it could be a security risk if you don’t trust the source of the data (GoodReads is a pretty safe bet, but its worth considering depending on how watertight your application needs to be)

<html>
    <head>
        {{ style_section|safe }}
    </head>
    <body>
        {{ content_section|safe }}
    </body>
</html>
