Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificent Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life—summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows. When their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Margo has disappeared. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they’re for him. Embarking on an exhilarating adventure to find her, the closer Q gets, the less he sees the girl he thought he knew.

#1 Bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars John Green crafts a brilliantly funny and moving coming-of-age journey about true friendship and true love.

Ehhhh, hate to say it but I wasn't really feeling it this time around. It wasn't bad but the ending left me...unsatisfied. I can't see it ending any other way, although I WAS convinced like Q that Margo Alaska'd on us...and yet, meh.

Q's adventure on the wildside and the road trip were fun and I liked seeing Lacey become a real character. I understand Margo's need to run but in the end only Q became a person to her. Not Lacey, her friend she was wrong about, nor anyone else. Maybe that's the problem, Q and his friends learned a lot and Margo...

Oh well. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood or (more likely) it's not the John Green novel for me. *shrug*
