β˜† One of the most fun coming-of-age stories that I've read in a while β˜†

The style is humorous and engaging throughout. Quentin's view of the world and his ability to describe the shenanigans that high school years have brought him is entertaining. Coupled with the characterization of his amusing friends this was swift and fun read. 

I enjoyed the message of the story the most. Quentin's, dare I say, obsession with chasing Margo and finding her is not as satisfying as we hope it would be. I think this is a message that, if we continue to chase the idea of a person without truly knowing them or seeing them for who they are, we will be as equally disappointed.


 
Noteworthy Trigger Warnings 
P.S. Description of a corpse at the beginning, but nothing overly inappropriate. There are mentions of underage drinking and sexual references as expected from a coming-of-age-story.
