When Margo Roth Spiegelman beckons Quentin Jacobsen in the middle of the night—dressed like a ninja and plotting an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows her. Margo’s always planned extravagantly, and, until now, she’s always planned solo. After a lifetime of loving Margo from afar, things are finally looking up for Q . . . until day breaks and she has vanished. Always an enigma, Margo has now become a mystery. But there are clues. And they’re for Q.

Printz Medalist John Green returns with the trademark brilliant wit and heart-stopping emotional honesty that have inspired a new generation of readers.

I, and Margo, imagined a whole new world than what Quentin imagined. I think Quentin wanted to live a life HE imagined for himself with Margo. He saw Margo as someone HE viewed her as. He never really saw Margo. He never understood who she really was.

I liked it but I was specting a little more.
The story is nice, is funny in the right moments, most of times intriguing, but at the end is lacking impact.
I was specting a different ending.
But anyway, I enjoyed reading this book. Specially the second part (the grass).

I read Fault in the Stars and thought I'd love this one. It wasn't my favorite. It wasn't as powerful as FIOS but I did appreciate the bond the three guys have.

Next book.
