Paper Towns.

In the author’s note, John writes about how paper towns were not real places, but names of places on maps, “…created to protect against copyright infringement,” (p. 307). It’s the thought of creating something that other people want to make real, which resembles Margo so well. As she said, “It’s great being an idea that everybody likes. But I could never be the idea to myself, not all the way. And Algoe is a place where paper creation became real… I thought the paper cutout of a girl could become real here also,” (p. 294). Maybe life is not about belonging to anything or anyone. Maybe it’s not about being anything at all. Maybe it’s just about being one’s own Margo.

…All the houses that were built to fall apart… All the things paper-thin and paper frail

From a distance… You can’t see the rust or the weeds or the paint cracking. You see the place as someone once imagined it

“You will go to the Paper Towns.
And you will never come back.”

paper princess

A perfect woman; if you were to put down on paper everything you could ever want in a woman, this would be her. Paper princesses are (for the most part) urban legends.

She's got it all: the face the rack the ass the brains, great hair and eyes. She's a paper princess.
