Reation

  • My reaction to the book was a little disappointing 
  • but  it faded quickly because margo thought nobody cared
  • about her but in the end everybody came together to find her and find
  • the clues she left for them and it shows the determinations her friends are
  • to find her.

Story Elements

  • The element of the story was a comedy drama because 
  • her friends had the determination to find her and at times it was very 
  • funny through out the story but in other times is was more serious 
  • and it shows how much her friends were determined to find her
  • even were at times it was hard.

Connections

  • This book connected the most to the Fault In Our Stars
  • because a group of friends that care about one person can
  • change the way they think about you and can make you
  • believe in certains times friends are needed.
