Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificent Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life—summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows. When their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Margo has disappeared. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they’re for him. Embarking on an exhilarating adventure to find her, the closer Q gets, the less he sees the girl he thought he knew.

#1 Bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars John Green crafts a brilliantly funny and moving coming-of-age journey about true friendship and true love.

ya know girllll it’s been a minute since i picked up this book and never finished reading it. i of course stopped reading once the movie came out and saw it many moons ago…. so i wanted to pick it up and finish it this time. i don’t remember it being this.. bleh.

I loved the poetry and metaphors about mental health, interconnectedness, hope etc. but i was never that intrigued i don’t think. Ben was THE saving grace to this book with how comical he was. Q and his mission to find Margo was the whole plot but that got stale midway.

Anyways i’m all here for nostalgia. It’s just different now that i’m older

Another John Green novel that is hard to put down. Quentin and Margo, neighbors, were friends once upon a time in their younger days. In the last few weeks of their senior year, Margo shows up outside Q's window late one night inciting a journey of finding one's self and discovering people aren't always what you imagine them to be.
