Paper Towns | "I’m a Girl and I’m Not Okay"

“He really John Greened in this one."

The time has come for another John Green episode, and this time our Patreon subscribers voted for Paper Towns (2008)! This is a book whose cultural significance is based more on the kind of story that it became a symbol of rather than the plot itself. Kellie and Daphne unpack the nuances and accuracy of the "manic pixie dream girl" label for Margo, along with road trips, discussions about metaphors, quirky character traits, and nerds getting kissed by cool girls. I mean, it's first-era John Green. You all know what to expect by now!

CW: This episode contains multiple mentions of suicide.
