Margo always loved mysteries. And in everything that came afterward, I could never stop thinking that maybe she loved mysteries so much that she became one.

Margo Roth Spiegelman and Quentin Jacobsen used to be friends until a traumatic event occurred in their lives at the age of nine and Margo strayed and stopped talking to him. After nine long years, just a few weeks before high school graduation, Margo sneaks into Q’s room in the middle of the night and, striving for revenge, takes him on a great adventure he’ll never forget. However, as their all-nighter ends, and Q expects their relationship to get back to normal, Margo disappears. Random trips may be one of her trademarks but Q soon finds out that Margo has left a path of clues leading to her. The closer he gets, the less he recognizes the girl he once used to know. Or did he ever really know her?

This is my third John Green novel. While I totally loved Looking for Alaska, TFiOS was a bit of a let down for me. Paper Towns gets the second place, right in the middle of these two.

I love reading about road trips because the idea of going away with a bunch of friends and driving across America sounds insanely exciting to me. I also love mysterious, screwed-up, depressed teenage girl characters. Margo might be similar to Alaska, but I really didn’t mind. It was like, “what would have Alaska done if she’d had the chance or time to”. I genuinely laughed at some scenes during Margo’s and Q’s night ride but mostly at Ben, whether they were in Orlando or rolling away from Florida in Q’s minivan. (Beer sword! I need to pee! YES!)

The main idea of the story - never really knowing people and over-idealization of the ones we love - and the concept of ‘paper towns’ were brilliant. It might not have been as emotional as LFA for me, but a great book nonetheless. The thing with John’s books is that they make you laugh, they might make you cry (if you’re not as heartless as me - not a single tear was shed during TFiOS) but most importantly, they make you THINK.

5/5

“What a treacherous thing it is to believe that a person is more than a person.”

“But as for me: I must ask the wounded man where he is hurt because I cannot become the wounded man. The only wounded man I can be is me.”

I should have read Paper Towns a few years ago when I was living in a bubble, completely over-idealizing certain person.
