Paper Towns - Book 2
Synopsis:
Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life--dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge--he follows.
After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues--and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees of the girl he thought he knew.
Printz medalist John Green returns with the brilliant wit and searing emotional honesty that have inspired a new generation of readers.
Enigmatic Margo is dramatically captured in a unique dual-cover treatment.
Rating: 5 out of 5
My thoughts:
This is the first book I've read in a long while that just had me holding on to it, not wanting to put it down. John Green captured the awkward and wonderful moments of schools last year and wanting to fit in while still trying to find yourself. I think at one point or another we've all felt like Margo, and just needed to leave. No goodbyes, no clues to where we're going, just walking away from it all and never looking back. Feeling so unappreciated and unloved by everyone who you thought cared and just getting away. I enjoyed trying to figure out the 'clues' with Quentin and was glad to see the ending was not glamourous and perfect. That's not how life is and this book depicted real life brilliantly.
