Miles Hatter's whole life has been one big non-event, until he meets Alaska Young. Gorgeous, clever and undoubtedly screwed up, Alaska draws Miles into her reckless world and irrevocably steals his heart. For Miles, nothing can ever be the same again.

I found this book a little slow at first and nearly gave up on it early on but persevered and I'm glad I did. It depicts so much more than just teen angst. I strongly suspect Alaska was bi-polar but the effect she has on others generally seems to draw out the best in them. This was my first time reading John Green and I don't think it will be the last.

Mailed to another bookcrosser via the UK wishlist tag game.

Thank you so much for tagging me! I've never read anything by this author so I'm keen to give it a go!

This book was very slow and I didn't really like the characters much. If you want a really good John Green book go for The Fault in our stars if you have some tissues ready!
