Paper Towns
by John Green
Enchanting and mysterious Margo has been 17 year old Quentin's obsession since she moved in next door when they were young kids. Despite sharing a childhood trauma together and their proximity, Margo and Q grow up more like two parallel lines than actual friends. A month before their high school graduation, Margo tumbles into Q's room, pulling him into an epic quest of revenge against those who have wronged her. They accomplish their revenge(s) and seem to connect, but Margo abruptly disappears the next day. Did Margo run away? Is she dead? Can we ever really know anyone, even ourselves?
This book was so-so story-wise for me. The writing was fantastic, and the secondary characters really shone. The main story revolving around Q and his obsession with Margo really didn't ring true to me. I just couldn't empathize with a girl who needed to run away from her problems which were really more of the "rich white girl" variety then anything truly terrible. I felt bad for Q but also didn't really feel like I knew him either.
Not my fav John Green book.
