Paper Towns is about a story that starts with two characters; Quentin ‘Q’ Jacobsen and Margo Roth Spiegelman. Their lives and paths where completely different, but all changed when one day she appeared in his bedroom in the middle of the night asking him for help to join her on a mission of revenge.
Our protagonists spend all night in an adventure doing what she planned; getting revenge on his friends and her ex-boyfriend for cheating.

Margo has always been Quentin’s crush, furthermore she was his neighbour but he never had the chance to talk with her because they were opposite poles, he was shy and introverted and she was one of the most popular girls in their school.
The morning after Margo didn’t go at school, the days were passing by and Quentin was everyday more worried until one day he found one clue of her, that lead him to other clues and he came to the conclusion that she wanted him to go for her. In the research, two friends of Quentin, one friend of Margo and a detective join him to find her location.

At the end of the story they find her. Quentin and his friends go to a trip to Agloe, New York where they find Margo and she explains to Quentin that she wasn’t leaving clews to be searched but to leave signals of life. She also proposes to Quentin to stay with her in the Paper Town but he refuses her proposition because he tells her he has a life in Florida.
They finally kiss and say their last goodbye, Quentin leaves the town with his friends.

In my opinion, the book was interesting, I like the relation between the two protagonists but I hate how the story ends because it is all about how he searches for Margo and at the end she refuses him, making the plot twist so forced and sad, leaving the reader so disappointed and unhappy.
To sum up, I liked so much the story and the argument but the end was so surprisingly disappointing.
