Paper Towns: A Coming-of-Age Mystery with Mixed Reviews

Buckle up for a road trip we wish had ended sooner, because this week... we’re talking Paper Towns. Yep, the book and the 2015 movie adaptation. And listen—we went in with open hearts (and snacks), but somewhere between the brooding monologues and the cardboard cutout characters, we kind of lost the plot. Literally.We’ll dive into Quentin’s obsessive spiral, Margo’s manic-pixie-ghosting-girl energy, and that iconic but somehow anticlimactic road trip that made us ask: was this all just a metaphor... for disappointment? 😅 We’ll still break down themes of identity and perception (because English class trauma is real), but fair warning—we're not pulling punches.So join us as we attempt to find the point in Paper Towns, discuss what could’ve been, and celebrate the unsung heroes: the side characters who actually had personality. 🙌(Spoiler alert: we wanted more chaos, more closure, and maybe just... a different book.)
