While I agree that it was shocking that she - Margo - didn't want to be found, she didn't deliberately leave the clues to be found either.ashley_claire wrote:I agree the most shocking part was Margo not wanting to be found. Why go to the trouble of leaving a few clues then?

Maybe. I mean, it's pretty intentional to leave something Inside someone else's door. I don't think Margo wanted to be found though. Unless we're talking about a subconscious thing...ashley_claire wrote:Not all of them, but she did intentionally leave a few.

The black santas collection was epic!
I had such a great time reading this book. The first stop at the gas station was hilarious! I was laughing like crazy when they had to run back to the van with nothing under their gowns.
And the fact that Margo didn't want to be found and Q actually accepted it was amazing, it shows that we have to respect other's people decisions, even if it hurts.

I agree! I think it shows just how much Q grew during the story, that after all the trouble he went to to find her and all the time he spent sick with worry about her, he could just accept that she wouldn't be coming back with them.

Doesn't the fact that we didn't expect Margo to be found - alive - or that she'd be surprised to be found say a lot about whether John Green did something different?kstockard wrote:I agree with those who say the most jaw-dropping part was the end when Margo was surprised she was found. I was expecting her to be dead, or something else, but not in an old barn very much alive. I was just shocked. Honestly, I expected John Green to do something different.

The most jaw dropping part for me was the end when they find Margo. That fact that she was shocked and wanted to know how they found her. She hadn't even left all the clues for them on purpose. She didn't want to be found, but Q and his friends did an amazing job figuring it out for themselves.
That ending really threw me off. I was expecting her to be dead or about to kill herself. The fact that she didn't even know they were coming to find her, shocked me.
I was really surprised Margo really did not think they would find her or that they were looking for her. I had just finished reading Gone Girl, so I has so many theories going on in my head. That being said, I really didn't see Margo being alive and clueless coming.

The awkward face-off an ending made my jaw drop. She ended up not running away for attention but for herself and had to interest in returning and wondered why they had come. It pissed me off but was definitely unexpected.
