When Margo Roth Spiegelman beckons Quentin Jacobsen in the middle of the night - dressed like a ninja and plotting an ingenious campaign of revenge - he follows her. Margo’s always planned extravagantly, and, until now, she’s always planned solo. After a lifetime of loving Margo from afar, things are finally looking up for Q...until day breaks and she has vanished. Always an enigma, Margo has now become a mystery. But there are clues. And they’re for Q.

"Laugh-out-loud humor and heartfelt poignancy." (Kliatt starred review)

A Good Read

As others mentioned, there are some audio issues with repeating.
A pretty good read, coming of age, adventure, you can tell the author really did his research to be able to adequately describe the events. This is only my second book by John Green and I look forward to reading more.

Most relatable and captivating books

One of the most amazing books I've had the pleasure of listening to or reading. It was captivating and wonderful, I listened to it every chance I got. Amazing beginning and a spectacular ending. I have never had the pleasure of reading a book that made me feel so connected to the characters, I feel like I knew them.

Great beginning!

I liked it but it loses steam about halfway through. Fault in Our Stars, Turtles All the Way Down and Will Grayson, Will Grayson were probably better but I did enjoy this one quite a bit.

fantastic book

the book is a wonderful introspective on how we look at the world through individual lenses. it definitely made me take a moment to rethink certain points of view. there are some jumps, 2 that I counted, where it skipped back roughly 5 seconds

Good coming of age story

I love John Green. I especially love when he narrates his own books. That was not the case this time. The story was good. Characters were fun.
