Over the weekend, the trailer for the movie adaptation of John Green's third novel, Paper Towns, premiered and girls everywhere freaked out. Coincidentally, I happened to be one of those girls. However, Paper Towns is definitely not another chick flick that you will drag your boyfriend too just so he can awkwardly watch you cry over the tragic, romantic plot (which is what happened when The Fault in Our Stars came out). Here are four of the main reasons why getting your boyfriend, or even your guy friends, to see Paper Towns with you won't actually be that big of a struggle.
1. No one dies tragically. Thankfully, there are no Augustus Waters repeats. At the end of the movie, your heart will still be intact in your chest and your guy won't be awkwardly patting you on the back while handing you tissues to sop up your tears and mascara.
2. It is narrated by a guy, so you know it's not that lovey dovey. The narrator of Paper Towns is Quentin "Q" Jacobsen, your typical high school guy. He might be in love with the most popular girl in school but that doesn't mean he's ever actually spoken to her. Needless to say, his romance factor is basically nonexistent.
3. There is at least some action. Paper Towns definitely does not have gun fights or drag racing, but there is an epic road trip and some pretty great revenge pranks involving catfish and saran wrap.
4. Cara Delevingne (yes, the Victoria's Secret model) plays Q's crush, Margo Roth Spiegelman. Yeah. That one will definitely seal the deal.
Paper Towns premieres in theaters on July 24.
