Quentin Jacobsen it’s in the end of his senior year and completely in love of Margo Roth Spiegelman. They were close friends at the age of nine years old, but they started growing and began losing communication. That’s why is to Quentin a real surprise when Margo appears at midnight in the window, asking for assistance in carrying out an elaborate plan for revenge that involves fish smelly, compromising photos and breaking into Sea World.

After an exciting night he spent with Margo, she run away and Quentin discovers she has left clues. With the help of his two best friends Ben and Radar and Lacey, the best friend of Margo, Quentin analyze each and every clue with the idea that Margo wanted him to find where she is.  Meanwhile the searching is going on, Quentin realize that the Margo he used to know, is not the same.

Finally Quentin decided to make a road trip to find Margo, and here is when he realize that the clues that  Margo has left for him, were for him to find himself  and  to do things he have never done.

Here is when I realize that what matters is to know yourself before knowing someone and for living life. Also that the Paper town and paper people are what we want to see and expect of them, like Quentin with Margo and Ben with Lacey, we create an image of people in our mind and we cling to it.  That’s why we all need to stop having the blindfold and see who is around us.
