THE CLUES



Why was Margo Roth so obssessed with leaving? Simple, she grew tired of putting up with everyone's expectations and prejudice. She realized that to be free, she needed to get away from everyone. 
Everyone but Quentin.

Margo started pulling Quentin in since she asked him for his mother's minivan. What Q didn't realize was that he was in way over his head with her.
.
It was love that drove him to find her... Well... Love and a little bit of curiosity He thought she was crazy at first, then he realized he wouldn't love her if she was just like everybody else, it was her craziness that made her so special

Who is the real Margo Roth Spiegelman?



"Margo Roth Spiegelman, whose six-syllable name was often spoken in its entirety with a kind of quiet reverence. Margo Roth Spiegelman, whose stories of epic adventures would blow through school like a summer storm"

Margo Roth Spiegelman is a mystery to everyone who knows her. Her parents and friends have only skimmed the surface of Margo's identity, while Q comes to know her a better than anyone else on their one-night adventure consisting of revenge, pranking and breaking into Sea World. 
Everything seems perfect to Quentin, until Margo disappears the next day without so much as a goodbye.

To me, Margo is misunderstood. At first in the book, she appears selfish and she tries to string Q along with her to do her biding. But the truth is, a lot of people were unintentionally idealizing her, including Q. She is a mess of contradictions and thus, impossible to truly understand. She teaches us about human connection and the barriers in understanding each other

Appearances can be deceiving


GEEK - NERD - MYSTERIOUS - WEIRDO - STRANGE

These are names Quentin has been called in highschool. What they don't know is that behind all that geekiness and nerdiness, there's a thoughtful, selfless person who is just trying to get his best friend back.

Margo has been a mystery to Quentin since she stopped talking to him, but there's nothing he likes more than solving them. So when she shows up in his window pane after a few years, asking strange question to just disappear the next day, he takes it to heart to find her and bring the girl he once knew back home.

People label you, that's a hard truth. Sometimes you can choose whether you want to give them what you want them to think and say about you, or you can chose to let them think whatever they want. Margo chose to let Q decide whether he is up for the challenge or if he is just going to let her be labeled as a crazy person and disappear forever.
