1. Paper Towns by John Green

I rate this book a double checkmark!

Okay so my third John Green book (I read Looking for Alaska just after Christmas) and it did not disappoint. I was almost scared to read his books because I've heard so much about them and was really looking forward to it. I thought maybe I was going to expect to much but I did not. It lived up to what I was expecting (not exactly sure what I was expecting. I guess just a really good book)

I almost want to say Paper Towns is my favourite out of the three books I've read but I feel like I need to read them over again. Yet again wonderful characters and a storyline that will keep you turning the pages. When you finally find out what a paper town is you'll want to do something (can't really say it without spoiling it so I'll leave it at that) Nearing the conclusion John really ends the book beautifully each time the characters have grown and they have a better grasp of their life or a situation. His conclusions sort of remind me of the Harry Potter series where each time Harry comes back and Dumbledore asks him what lessons he has learned and Rowling shows how the characters have grown. Except in John’s books it is a little less grande but not in a bad way.

So go to your local library and pick it up!

PS. I won't always do a synopsis of a book in case you were wondering.
