Paper Towns

[jetpack_monkey_ljarchive]

Reading Paper Towns by John Green right now. Nearing the end and wishing I'd had this book when I was in high school. I think it would have helped me with my own Margo Roth Spiegelman type person.

Also, any young adult novel that uses a Walt Whitman poem as a narrative and thematic backbone is a-okay in my book.

love John Green!!! Looking for Alaska is one of my favorite books (was first one of his I read) it's just so different and also it's rare to have YA with a male lead too.
