** spoiler alert ** **Spoilers in this review**

Personally didn't like it as much as I thought I would, but it was a solid book.

The main character felt real, but the other characters felt rather flat.

Ben was kind of a douchebaggy idiot 90% of the book. Q's parents were flat stereotypical doting psychologist-type people that never once strayed to do something unusual or get mad at him.

Radar was pretty interesting, fresh, and funny, but Lacey didn't come out to me as well. I still don't have a good picture of her in my head.

As for Margo, I didn't really understand her personality. It was double-sided, but that was it. There was adventurous, exciting, beautiful (her beauty is really kind of annoying to hear about in this book...like with strangers hitting up on her all the time...) Margo...and then depressed, wanting to run away Margo.

We really didn't learn too much about her, just knowing her as a popular "has it all girl" with a dark side.

I liked reading on the mystery, but there were some parts that just suspended belief too much. Like finding her in the middle of Agloe, New York? It had to be done, but it just seemed too easy.

And I really did not enjoy the ending, a stereotypical kissing scene before she goes off to leave forever. Like, I wanted something different. For Margo to be dead and Q to be left with a message that would stay with him forever. Or for Margo to have learned something as well.

But I feel like both Margo and Q were mostly the same at the end of the book, except Q became ballsier not on his own, but because Margo wanted him to be...and mostly because her own foundation.

The thing I liked most about the book was the "paper towns" idea. I liked John Green's message at the end, and how he tied that in together with the climax of reuniting with Margo in Agloe. It's a novel idea.

Overall, it was a good book. But I've read better YA fiction, and there are some reservations I have with the story.
