Paper Towns 3

The end of Paper Towns is very bittersweet. After arriving at the place on the map where the paper town is on the map, he finds a barn with Margo's car parked outside. When he go into the barn he finds Margo, who isn't as happy to see him. It turns out Margo never wanted to be found, and Quentin got lucky finding something she left behind. After they talk for a little bit, Margo is happy Quentin did find her, even if she didn't want him to. She tells Quentin that she's never going back to Orlando, but offers him to come with her as she travels around America. As much as Quentin would loved to stay with Margo, he knows he has plans for college and his whole life ahead of him, and he can't accepted her offer. They spend the night together laying in the field talking, and promise to keep in touch with each other. When the morning comes Quentin leaves and departs back to Florida with his friends. Though the ending is a little sad, it fits the story well because it becomes less about him finding Margo, and more about finding out who he really is.
