Paper Towns by John Green

Plot Summary

Quentin Jacobsen has habitually been a little bit in love from afar with his close by, the attractive and well liked Margo Roth Spiegel man. They went from being associates in childhood to being more or less estranged in high school. One evening, two weeks before their older prom, Margo undoes Quentin's window and asks for him to connect her in an all-night excursion that engages a sequence of complicated pranks. However, certain thing occurs after that night. I don't desire to give too much away because Paper Towns is part secret, and so the less you understand the better (Green, 89).
