Paper Towns by John Green

Meet Quentin Jacobson--a senior in high school from Orlando, Florida who doesn't have a high social status. He hangs out with the band kids and likes to stay in rather than go out. Now meet Margo Roth Speiglman--the adventurous girl that lives next-door to Quentin. The two were friends when they were younger, but grew apart. Margo loves mysteries. She would just leave some nights and leave clues for her parents as to where she went. She's popular, has the perfect boyfriend, and is always the talk of the school with her little adventures. At least, that's what Quentin sees. But it's really the opposite of what's going on in Margo's life. One night, Margo arrives at Quentin's window asking for his help. Quentin obviously agrees and they set off on their adventure. They stay out all night completing these tasks that Margo says she must finish. The next day, Margo is no where to be seen. She ran away again. Her parents don't care, they took it upon themselves to change the locks on their houses so she couldn't get back in. But Quentin cared. A little while after Margo disappeared, Quentin started finding little clues from her. They led him to a run-down strip mall and a bunch of pseudodivisions, or unfinished and abandoned subdivisions, which he interpreted to be what Margo called a "paper town". When all hope seemed lost, he tried one more time. He found an article about a "paper town," which he found out was a fake town that companies put on maps so that they knew if someone had copied theirs. The article was about how someone had built a general store in a "paper town", Agloe, New York, and how the population was zero. Someone had commented on the article that the population would be one until a certain date. Quentin knew it was Margo because of her little quirky habit of capitalizing random words. Quentin had one day to get to her in time before she left, and the day in which he needed to leave was graduation day. He skipped graduation to go and find her. When he got to Agloe, he found her in the worn-down general store. Margo told Quentin that she didn't want him to find her and that a paper girl belongs in a paper town. Margo told Quentin that she was headed to New York. She told him of the book she had been writing since she was little of the adventures of the two and how Quentin would be the hero and how she thought he was a super hot. She told him that she could never go back to Orlando, that she wanted to travel. She says that Quentin can come with her to New York, but he says he can't because he has a whole life their that he can't just drop. Margo said that she understood that he couldn't go and Quentin said that he understood that she couldn't return. In the end, Margo and Quentin...
