Paper towns was written by John Green. I give this book probably a 7.5 out of 10. In the book the main Character Quentin Jacobsen goes on adventure looking for his missing neighbor who just so happened to be what he thought the love of his life. In the book Jacobsen and his friends find clues Margo has left for Quentin and go on a hunt for her. Margo is the most popular girl at school and she's spontaneous so it doesn't seem like a big deal to others that she was missing but I questioned a lot why no one made a huge deal about it. I really liked seeing character conquer their fears and getting out of their comfort zones.
I really enjoyed the ending oddly. It definitely wasn't your happy ending. Quentin finds Margo but they don't end up being together. Margo doesn't return back home and they realizes they have to go their separate ways. I like how for once it wasn't a guy goes on a quest to find the love of his life finds her and they live happily ever after. It felt a little more real having them not be together.
The book seemed a little too slow paced for me. Which made it a little difficult to read. I would lose focus at times. The trip seemed like it dragged on. It also seemed too good to be true how Quentin got every clue Margo left for him. Something's literally seemed like it had to be luck and if he missed it, finding her would just not have happened.
Overall the book wasn't too bad or too good. I would only recommend this book to certain friends. It defiantly wasn't john Greens best book but it was okay. If you like watching characters grow this is a book for you if you're into sappy happy endings this book is definitely not for you, you would get angry at the end cause i know i did.
