![]() ![]() ⭐Well-defined characters are hard enough to do. ![]() ![]() It is for Quentin to follow the trail - but to find Margo he first has to understand Margo, not as an ideal or love object or symbol - but the real person.The climactic scenes of this quest are extraordinarily well done and the final resolution is moving without being shattering. After an extraordinary night of adventure together a month before graduation, Margo disappears leaving some cryptic clues as to her whereabouts. ![]() However Quentin carries a torch for his childhood friend. The two live next door but are in different social sects in the high school caste system. The male lead is Quentin, brainy but balanced. But in this book, it somehow comes together, aided by the musings of Walt Whitman, is a way that is not treacly or weepy – but real and grounded.The book is dominated by Margo, a high school queen bee whose brash exterior hides an intellectual and angst-filled interior. We also have a lot of smart dialogue, a mystery, a quest and the anguish and sweetness of young love. We have a familiar cast of characters - the nerdy teenage boy and his brainiac friends and the damaged teenage girl who is may be popular and confident on the outside but is deeply troubled on the inside. ⭐Of the John Green books I have read, this is my favorite.
