I already love John Green's books, so I'm definitely biased when I say, I loved this book.

This is one of the few "mystery" books I've enjoyed reading. Definitely because the characters feel like real teenagers. Most books with teens included make them sound really old, so I appreciate this little detail. 

The humor in this book was top tier. Honestly had me laughing most of the time, which I adored.

Those roadtrip chapters were my favorites, because everyone's personalities really shone through.

Although it did take me while to start enjoying this book, this has become one of my favorites.

Last thing I want to say is, Ben absolutely carried the team.

And that PLOT TWIST. ohmygosh. Kinda disappointed I didn't see it coming. 

Makes sense that Margo didn't want to be found in the first place. I mean, she even said after having that grand adventure with Q that they wouldn't hang out like that again.

Not much variation from the typical John Green formula, but it's still as poignant and entertaining as ever.
