When they almost hit the cow, it was heart pounding. A little funny when I thought about it later.

The most jaw-dropping part for me was finding Margo in the end. To me, it was crazy how she had left clues, but purely vague, and that she was still going to leave. I never thought that she might not have wanted to be found, and I was even more surprised that she continued on her journey.

I think instead of giving us the characters we expected to become a couple, John Green completely switched it up. We were figuring Margo would end up with Quentin because, you know - the hero gets the girl - but we get something completely different. I think the reason it's so hard to believe is because we have Lacey put down as the 'it' girl while Ben is the adorkable, goofy nerd.

Opposites attract! I'm a big fan of this. Who wants to be with the carbon copy of themself? Not me. Spice it up, add a lil' diversity and mix. Always there for it.

It was pretty surprising, but for me nothing beats the ending. That was the biggest jaw-dropper of them all.

I see a lot of people saying that Ben being Lacey's prom date was shockingly, but I think they were oddly a great fit and knew that they'd get together.
