This book is about one girl Margo, who loves adventures and disappearing. Also about K'u, who is crazy about her. Margo is my favourite character, because she is unusual, kind, but sometimes she can be even rude.
One night Margo invited her friend to take part in one mission. He agreed. But next day, when he came to school, he found out that Margo disappeared. But she left a mystery massage. So, K'u and his friend decided to find her.
I realy adore this book, because I can feel all those emotions. "Paper Towns" - it's a story of growing up, friendship and love.
I can reccomend this book to everybody.
