Quentin ("Q") is a teen who has loved from afar crazy, sexy neighbor Margo Roth Spiegelman (and you must always say all three when you mention her name). When they were nine, they came upon a dead man in the park where they went to play. Q's parents told him to take a nap and forget about it but Margo slipped out of her house and investigated the suicide. That is just how Margo Roth Spiegelman is, adventurous, alluring but also lots of scary fun. One night she slips in Q's window and she takes him on an all night of hair-raising fun and revenge. Q can't wait to continue this renewed friendship the next day. Only Margo disappears and Q starts turning up clues he believes Margo has left for him. Undaunted he becomes obsessed with finding her dead or alive and his loyal friends are right there to help him out. What did I learn from this funny, engrossing, can't put it down book? Keep your good friends and loyalty will reward you with love 4ever! Read the book and find out why John Green has a 3rd totally entertaining book

    I agree, this is another successful book by Green. My book club loved "Looking for Alaska" and those that have read this found it of the same caliber. We have decided that Green is fantastic at creating character driven novels. Often, the story takes back seat to the characters, and amazingly, that is okay. Our club likes Sarah Dessen novels for the same reason. Thanks for your post!
