Paper Towns by John Green
3.0
DISCLAIMER: It's been a year since I've read the book, so everything here is based off my memory of the story.
I usually prefer to not compare books especially if their not similar in plot or storyline, but the same way I felt for Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is the same way I felt for Paper Towns. The story is great and characters are relatable, it's just the ending that throws me off.
95% of Paper Towns is about Quentin trying to figure out all the clues Margo left him to find out where she ran away to (also including the part where he helps her get revenge before she leaves). I really enjoyed that part of the book because it felt as if I was helping Q and his friends find clues. Plus, I thought the clues were very clever and creative.
But the other 5% - aka the part where they find Margo - aka the ending - just ruins the book for me.
Not going to lie, I still like the book for it's plot and creativity, but the ending is just SO disappointing.

Spoiler
I don't understand why Margo was so selfish to leave all those clues and make it seem as if she wanted them to find her, but then later act like it was stupid of Q & his squad to do so??¿ Ugh!!Not going to lie, I still like the book for it's plot and creativity, but the ending is just SO disappointing.
