Paper Towns
Title : Paper Towns
Author : John Green
One of the reasons that I liked this book were the characters and the mystery in the story !
Quentin and through his search for Margo he finds out that Margo wasn’t the girl he thought she was or the girl she pretended to be and this makes Quentin think about how people are different versions of themselves when they are with different people !! At one point, he thinks Margo might have committed suicide and he really worked hard to find her ... at some moments I felt I was getting angry at Margo for hurting Quentin and i thought she was just a drama queen who wants all the attention on her ! but in the end I understood why she had to do what she did and i kinda fell related to Margo ! her need to escape everything ! and all of her actions were justified.
If you have read any of John Green’s other books and liked those, you should definitely pick up this book as well! it is just really well-written, the characters are really interesting and it makes you think about some questions in life.

“When did we see each other face-to-face? Not until you saw into my cracks and I saw into yours. Before that, we were just looking at ideas of each other, like looking at your window shade but never seeing inside. But once the vessel cracks, the light can get in. The light can get out.”
