Before:
Miles “Pudge” Halter is just a normal guy. He doesn’t have many friends at home in Florida, which worries his parents. So he decides to go to Culver Creek Boarding School in Alabama.
There he meets his roommate “The Colonel”, Takumi, who’s from Japan, and Alaska Young. Funny, intelligent, beautiful, self-destructive Alaska Young. And of course, Miles falls in love with her. But this isn’t your typical love story.
After: An event that will change Pudge’s life forever.
I don’t think anyone can do this book justice. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever read. It’s realistic. It’s a page turner, but not in a suspenseful way. I really can’t describe how good it is. I saw a bunch of reviews on YouTube and I wasn’t exactly convinced to read it, and I’m not sure you’ll be convinced with my review. It’s amazing. One of, if not the best, book I’ve ever read. PLEASE read this book!
