After being summoned by Margo Roth Spiegelman to help her get revenge, Quentin Jacobsen doesn’t have the ability to say no. As they drive around a deserted Florida in the dead of night, doing the various deeds set out by Margo, Q hopes that they will be able to build their childhood friendship back up. But when he arrives at school the next day, the hope vanishes - along with Margo.
With the help of his two friends – and one of their girlfriends – they try and piece together the story of why Margo ran away, where she went and who she really is.
I loved this book. There were moments when I was scared, moments when I roared with laughter and moments when I questioned the sanity of everyone. It was so witty - and the clever way that Green set out Margo’s trail was sometimes too much for me to get my head round at first. I also loved the way we got to see the different sides of Margo, trying to work out which one really was her true self.
Please don’t judge me, but this is actually the first book I’ve read by John Green - I’m sure that he is about to come a regular on my bookshelf.
