Miles Halter is intrigued by famous last words, but tired of his mundane life at home. Seeking a new adventure, he leaves for boarding school, hoping to discover the “Great Perhaps” that the poet François Rabelais spoke of. At Culver Creek, Miles meets Alaska Young, a captivating and complex girl who pulls him into a world of pranks, deep friendship, and unforgettable moments.
Looking for Alaska is a deeply moving exploration of how one person’s life can leave an indelible mark on another. This modern classic introduced John Green as a groundbreaking voice in contemporary fiction.

Looking for Alaska has pushed me into a thoughtful, depressive state and I may need the weekend to recover. Only hoping these aren’t my last words!

Just as stated above. Great life perspective and immersive. So much pain and heartbreak. Can’t wait to watch the show now too.

I loved being reminded of why this has been my favorite book for more than half my life. I also loved reading it from the perspective of a person who’s lived 100% more life since the first time I picked it up.
