Paper Towns

ACTUAL RATING: 4.4 Stars

Okay before I review this book, I might want to explain why it took me almost a month to finish this book. As you guys can see, I started reading this book waaay back in April 3. I had to abandon this book for a while because I started to get bored and the story didn't compel that much to me. I found the story almost similar to the Pretty Little Liars series. But my best friend kept insisting me to read it again. People from the internet were raving about it after the movie adaptation was announced. I started getting very curious so I had to find out what this book has to really offer.

Paper Towns (is the 3rd book by the amazing John Green I've read by the way) is a contemporary mystery novel about the disappearance of Margo Roth Spiegelman, who is the childhood friend and life-long crush of our main character Quentin. Margo Roth Spiegelman is gorgeous and belongs to the cool-kids in Q's school. One night, for they are just neighbors, Margo decided to seek help from Q to take revenge on the people who have wronged both of them. The next day, she disappeared. Q and his pals went on a search for Margo, often with the help of the clues that were left by Margo by means of poems, posters, and such stuff. They found her in a barn somewhere in Agloe, New York. But Margo wasn't even happy to see the gang. It was then revealed that she's planning to leave for New York and Q was saddened by this news because he won't be seeing her that much anymore. Nevertheless, he will be visiting her during holidays and vacations.

I kinda expected that they'll become the ultimate lovers in the end. But, everything doesn't always end in happy endings. The ending seemed too ambiguous (for me atleast). I don't know Margo's purpose in leaving for NYC. So shout out to John Green to make a sequel maybe????

As always, Green left me in the edge of my seat after every page. It's hilarious, witty, swoon-worthy, and kinda nerdy in some ways (duhhh it's John Green). I recommend this to everyone, most especially for teens as well as adults. It's really quick and will never let you stop flipping the pages v(¯∇¯)
