An improvement on "Looking For Alaska"'s themes, but still doesn't fully unpack the Manic Pixie Dream Girl quite as much as John Green intends. I always like his lyrical prose and the character's odd hobbies. Margo is potentially non-white, and the protagonist's best friend is black but I wouldn't call it amazingly diverse.
Before I read this my best friend's boyfriend said he had Paper Towns'ed me and fallen for a person who only existed in his head so that was uh. a time.
