About this eBook
From the bestselling author of The Fault in our Stars and Looking for Alaska, now a major TV series
Quentin Jacobsen has always loved Margo Roth Spiegelman, for Margo (and her adventures) are the stuff of legend at their high school. So when she one day climbs through his window and summons him on an all-night road trip of revenge he cannot help but follow.
But the next day Margo doesn't come to school and a week later she is still missing. Q soon learns that there are clues in her disappearance . . . and they are for him. But as he gets deeper into the mystery – culminating in another awesome road trip across America – he becomes less sure of who and what he is looking for.
Masterfully written by John Green, this is a thoughtful, insightful and hilarious coming-of-age story.

It's very easy to read and not at all mundane. The story flows well, the characters captivating. The subject matter becomes a little tedious, but the book is still enjoyable and not very taxing - which I hasten to add is no bad thing. Overall worth a read.

This is my personal opinion but I feel like the led up to the end dragged out a bit and I found myself skipping most of it and in doing so, when I got to the end I did not feel like I had missed out on much of the story.

It's a beautiful story in its own way. Makes you think about the stuff you consider important. Even though it's explained in a simple manner, the meaning is much more deeper.
