If only there were Paper Towns.

Just today, I started reading Paper Towns by John Green. The first thing I've noticed in Green's writing is the narrator in the stories are boys, really just talking about girls. The main character in the story is Quentin, and his best friend Margo. Margo Roth Spielberg. Margo is Quentin or "Q"s best friend, they have been neighbors since forever. The weird thing is though, he's in love with her. And she doesn't know it. And, and she has a boyfriend.

Even though I have just started reading Paper Towns, I've noticed some intentional things Green did. Right before I was reading this, I was reading another book by John Green called Looking for Alaska. In that book and this one, the narrator is a guy. I've also noticed that in both books, the narrator talks about girls- girls they love. Green's writing includes a lot about teenage love, mistakes and hobbies. 

Since I started reading Paper Towns today, I have a lot to predict. In the blurb, it says a lot. It says something mysterious is going to happen. And I predict that it will happen from Margo, because according to Q, she's beautiful, mysterious and everything else. I also predict that even if she has a boyfriend she's going to end up leaving him for Quentin, because that's why typically happens. Or she's going to tell him she loves him back but they don't end up together.

Overall, I think Paper Towns is going to be a great book like the last book I read by John Green! I like it because a lot of teenagers can relate to it. And Green's intentional moves are always very unique. His writing leaves  a reader thinking what his next move will be. I kind of can relate to Quentin and Margo but not with the love relationship, just the friendship part. Everyone should go check out Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska and Abundance for Katherines!
