Towns that appear to be beautiful when you look at them from afar but up close it's different, you don't look at it the same way. Up close you see the the truth that is hidden behind the beauty from a far and sometimes you wish just to see the beauty and not the truth.
Jennifer: Look how beautiful Dallas is from the hotel roof!
Katy: It's a Paper Town. It may be beautiful from here but the closer it is the less you see the beauty in it.

Get the Paper towns. mug.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.”
