Congratulations, John Green. I will never be able to forget the name: Margo Roth Spiegelman. Repetition works.

Plot-in-a-nutshell:
Quentin, a self-proclaimed “well-adjusted” high school senior of middling popularity, is suddenly commandeered one night by his fascinatingly eccentric classmate and neighbor, Margot—asked to act as her accomplice in a series of delinquent acts of vengeance.

It was a five-star book.. till the last few chapters, where the inevitable pretentiousness that I have encountered in other John Green books snuck in.The characters in this one are so much more believable and real that the others.

The central premise is rather interesting, and I can't ...more
