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.

2013 cleaning my shelves challenge

I loved the first part for it's Margo-ness adventures.
I loved the second part for the undeniable deepness of it all, and for Q's mousing (and Ben and Lacey's relationship. Totally adore those two. And Radar, of course).
I loved the third part for the hilarious bits, and the conclusion of the story.

I adored the whole book as a whole mostly because every few pages I had to stop to think "How the hell does John Green comes up with this things?!
I adored this book as a whole for how different the different parts are, while still having a sameness about them.
I adored this book as a whole for making me think none-stop. My brain can always use the exercise.

So, I guess, at the end of the day, all I can say is; brilliant.
