It's kind of hard to review this book without spoiling it, so I'll say first that it's another one of John Green's best. The story follows a group of boarding school kids, all of whom are both incredibly intelligent and incredibly stupid at the same time. Narrating this story is Miles "Pudge" Halter, but the focus of this story is Alaska Young, a beautiful and troubled young girl who no one can quite figure out . . . not even her. Essentially, this is a book of a year's worth of experiences. It will make you laugh uproariously and cry heartily, and it will make you think about how we spend our lives and what friendships really mean. Absolutely everyone who's ever been a teenager should read this book.
