A disappointing story. I loved The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska, so was expecting to love this story too. I just didn’t feel connected to the characters despite laughing out loud at some of the humour, which is probably what saves this book from a measly two star rating.3 Star

Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life—dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows.

After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they’re for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees of the girl he thought he knew.

  1. I think I gave this the same rating and basically felt the same way. I haven’t read Looking For Alaska yet, but I have read TFioS and I really enjoyed it. Paper Towns was a bit of a let down after it, but I’m hopeful for LFA as a lot of bloggers who didn’t like PT preferred it.
