I loved this since the moment I first opened it <3

However, I have to admit Margo is the only reason I love this book. I've seen a lot of reviews where people said they didn't like her because she was selfish but I think she just knew that she didn't have any close connection and therefore she didn't have to give any explanations to anyone and I adored that.

The other characters where annoying most of the time, especially Q and Lacey -.- Lacey was always playing the victim saying that Margo was her "best friend" but
when they found her, she didn't even hear what Margo had to say
and Q was just agh, how can someone be sooo "in love" with someone they don't know at all? And also feel like he is her only salvation, please.

The only mature one that I actually didn't have a problema with was Radar and he was the wise one that said:
“You know your problem, Quentin? You keep expecting people not to be themselves. I mean, I could hate you for being massively unpunctual and for never being interested in anything other than Margo Roth Spiegelman, and for, like, never asking me about how it's going with my girlfriend - but I don't give a shit, man, because you're you. My parents have a shit ton of black Santas, but that's okay. They're them. I'm too obsessed with a reference website to answer my phone sometimes when my friends call, or my girlfriend. That's okay, too. That's me. You like me anyway. And I like you. You're funny, and you're smart, and you may show up late, but you always show up eventually.”


On the bright side, though, the road trip was actually pretty cool and entertaining.
