Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more (Francois Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then. . . . After. Nothing is ever the same

How will I ever get out of this labyrinth

Having read John Green's books in a rather haphazard order I've gotten used to his way of ending stories with hope sans joy, but Looking For Alaska was too much of an emotional gut punch. If this was his first book, I'm not even slightly surprised he's had the successful career he's had since. It's just beautiful.
