After having spent the whole night with the ever so cool the one and only Margo, Quentin finds himself awaiting for the next day as he thinks that for once things won’t go in ordinary order and perhaps change. As he arrives in school he finds that Margo has disappeared. Quentin enlists his friends Radar along with Ben and Margo’s friend Lucy to help in finding Margo. Eventually they skip their high school graduation and go on a cross-country road trip in hope to find (save) her. Margo left clues in the volume of Walt Whiteman’s “Leaves of Grass” with hopes that Quentin will eventually find her. As Quentin goes on a journey in search of Margo he comes to a realization that Margo isn’t really the person which he was under the impression of.

As everyone comes to a realization which they have really become while finding Margo, they know that they don’t need to be who everyone expects them to be. From this point onwards they are considered as adults and they can finally choose which direction they want to take in their life’s’. Margo’s wish is to travel the world and no longer be known as the fake “paper girl” which she was in …show more content…
It has life-like characters which make me wish if I could have friends like them in reality. It has a great sense of humour and is written in an incredible style. John Green never ceases to amazes me with his ability of literature and how he always manages to grasp concepts that are important to us teenagers. I truly loved the entire concept of how the characters shared a different relationship, something which many of us perhaps could relate to. Sometime the journey is rather more important than the destination itself, something which I personally agree with. I enjoyed the final conclusion of the book as it wasn’t platitude. Quentin states that he is able “to feel hands of Margo on his back and see her even in the cracked darkness”. This reminds us that even when they were young they stared at each other in the darkness. Q recalls his suffer relationship and his inability to express his emotions to Margo. In the last line Quentin says, “Margo’s beauty was a kind of sealed vessel of perfection- uncracked and uncrackable”. But at the end of the Novel Quentin sees that she isn’t as perfect or flawless. She might be even in the cracked darkness herself. Even then it doesn’t scare Q away as he seems to acknowledge her for who she really is and always have been. I liked how the novel doesn’t end with a cliché ending; instead it
