I had so many mixed emotions about this book, it was a crazy day. I read from about the end of their adventures until the end all in one day because I could not put it down!

So, this was my first John Green book despite my English teacher urging me to read Looking for Alaska for months. I just picked it up as something to pass the time and then found myself FASCINATED with Margo. It's just like John wrote, there are so many different Margos. But at the same time I think that she was obviously all the same Margo but she, like myself and every other human being, hide the parts of us we don't want everyone to see. Even though she wasn't afraid to be herself, there was still SO MUCH that she never shared. I think it's easy to relate to the characters, maybe not to the extremes that they took though.

Part 1 was really interesting and made me laugh as I continued to read because I had to know what was coming next. Then when part 2 rolled around and she didn't show up anywhere I was confused and thinking "uh, there are over 200 pages in this book so what is about to unravel?" I was hooked, I couldn't stop reading, I had to find out!

(view spoiler)[Every time they found a clue as to where she was I got a bit of excitement like I was actually there. That's a sign of a good book. ANYWAYS, when they found the minimall I was freaking out. I figured that they weren't going to find her dead body right away, but at the same time it was obviously written to make the reader believe that is what is happening. I loved all the clues and how devoted Q was to making sure she was alive. So when they finally got to Agloe, I felt like I had something personally invested in this. I guess what I expected at first was for them to walk and Margo say something like "it only took a month, but I can't believe you actually found me. I figured you would have given up by now." THEN the hopeless romantic in me wanted it to be a mushy gushy reunion and happily ever after. When she told him that everything after discovering the minimall wasn't meant to be a clue and she really didn't want to be found I felt let down as weird as that may be. I also found myself getting mad for Q at how nonchalant she was being. How can you just say "you can't just show up here without warning." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? (hide spoiler)]

Ugh, so no I didn't particularly LOVE the ending, but the book itself mad it worth it. The plot, each event, and John's style made the book great. I would recommend this book to all of my friends really and definetely anyone who has read 13 Reasons Why. I definitely feel like the 2 books are similar.
