Paper Towns by John Green

Paper Towns by John Green is a coming of age story. Margo Roth Spiegelman and Quentin Jacobsen have been neighbors since they were little kids. As they grew older each went their own path through high school. Quentin was the quiet kid that hung out in the band room and Margo was the popular girl that dated the jocks. One night senior year Margo goes to Quentin’s window at the middle of the night in need of a favor. They spend the whole night on an adventure. The following morning however Margo goes missing. Paper Towns tells the story of finding Margo after she went missing. Along the way friends and memories are made.

I would recommend this book because of the suspense that builds throughout the novel. The theme of finding yourself through other people is also noticed within the book. Paper Towns also shows readers that not everything is based on looks. The following quote from the book explains this, “That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste.” If you like Paper Towns by John Green, then you’ll love Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid.
