It showed us the importance of personal decisions, Margo wanted adventure, she wanted another life, she wanted to live by her rules and Q was such a decent human being to not step in the middle of all that. He knew her, he cared about her, so he let her go. That's what I love about this book, it has a lesson, an important one.

The "moral" of the book, or at least the main theme I took away, was that idealizing people is a mistake. The book ends, therefore, with a very unidealized ending to a high school crush.
And the best part is that the main character learns the lesson.

I had the same thoughts of "Wait, what just happened?" I didn't love the ending, but I did enjoy the book.zaynab_m wrote:Right after finishing the book, I was aghast, thinking, "Wait, WHAT just happened? The book ended, just like that?!" Yep, I'm serious. But thinking back on the it, I appreciate the way John managed to wrap up the story, leaving out the cliché one would expect in such a book - the cliché being, of course, that Margo and Q end up together. There was just that right blend of heartbreak at the end, for Q, and, as I felt, even for Margo. I am impressed that Q was able to conquer his feelings for Margo enough to respect her wish, and let her be.
