Summary: One moth before graduation from his Central Florida high school, Quentin "Q" Jacobsen basks in the predictable boringness of his life until the beautiful and exciting Margo Roth Spiegelman, Q's neighbor and classmate, takes him on a midnight adventure and then mysteriously disappears.

So I have just been bumming around in my room a lot these days. I just spend majority of the time reading so I stumbled upon this book again.

Just love how you can relate to each of the characters for real.

For me, the character of Quentin is just like the average teenager. Routine-like life of a teenager, school and stuff. I love how he thinks that his miracle was Margo. But in the story, his whole perspective of her changes hence the quote just above. When he embarks on this last adventure with Margo, he completely transforms into her hero/rockstar despite all of the anxiety attacks and such.

Margo's character though, she has this whole different persona when she's in front of her friends and this whole other persona when she is all alone. She's this legendary girl in everyone's eyes, but she's just a girl down inside. She loved mysteries so much that she became one. I love her desire of breaking into places and traveling, not so much the staying in abandoned places.

"The pleasure of leaving." I just love this, there's this quote too: "Leaving feels good and pure only when you leave something important, something that mattered to you. Pulling life out by the roots. But you can't do that until your life has grown roots."

You know, I've been contemplating this with my own life.

I am worried of what's gonna happen after college

But I'm not too damned scared

I know it's going to be hard pulling the roots

But I'm just gonna suck it up because it only stings a while but it continues to get better

and it will.

My life has grown roots here

I am planning to go abroad

Imagining these things sometimes makes me happy or makes me anxious

"But then again, if you don't imagine, nothing ever happens at all"

But I think that it's just hard to leave, once you do, it's the easiest goddamned thing in the world

you go forth and deal with it

you know, you should make every moment of your life precious.

I can worry about forever

But it is today

"Forever is composed of nows"
