Following a huge weekend of _The Fault in Our Stars_ fans uniting at the[ box office](http://time.com/2845147/fault-in-our-stars-john-green-edge-of-tomorrow/) to support John Green’s beloved bestseller on the big screen, fans are finding themselves drowning in tears—and not just because the movie was so sad. Many fans are wondering: What’s next?

Green has yet to publish another novel, standing his ground on the impossibility of a sequel to _The Fault in Our Stars_ while also remaining mum on the topic of what his next book will be about.

But nerdfighters—what Green’s biggest fans call themselves—have nothing to cry about. [Michael H. Weber and Scott Neustadter, the screenwriting team](http://time.com/2815729/book-to-movie-adaptations-screenwriters/) that so perfectly took Hazel and Gus from page to screen are currently hard at work adapting Green’s bestselling _Paper Towns_ for the same folks who produced the screen version of _TFIOS_. While no director is tied to the project, according to Fox, there’s certainly the possibility that _Fault_ director Josh Boone could (and arguably should) take the helm. Aside from Boone excelling at bringing _Fault_ to life, he’s also acknowledged his admiration for Nat Wolff, who played Isaac in _Fault_ and is set for the lead role in _Paper Towns_.

So what else can you expect? Another heartwarming story that bottles up the essence of coming of age, falling in love and everything in between. _Paper Towns_ follows Quentin Jacobsen—also known as Q—as he follows clues left by Margo, his missing neighbor, who he also happens to be in love with. _Paper Towns_ also has an incredible supporting cast of characters in Q’s quirky social circle: Radar—who runs a site similar to Wikipedia—and Ben, a girl-crazy best friend who’s obsessed with landing a date to prom.


The story keeps you on your toes with the mystery of Margo—and it’s one of desperation all too reminiscent of Hazel and Gus’ journey to Amsterdam.

Plus—**_spoiler alert!_**_—_the adaptation’s elusive ending could be a little more concrete, or at least pleasing in a cinematic sense. After all, Weber and Neustadter famously found a way to make Joseph Gordon Levitt’s heartbreak in _500 Days of Summer_ feel hopeful, and they didn’t shy away from altering the end of Tim Tharp’s _Spectacular Now_ novel when adapting it.

Alas, no worries, nerdfighters, there are plenty of things to raise bottled stars to.
