The unmissable first novel from bestselling and award-winning author of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. In the dark beside me; she smelled of sweat and sunshine and vanilla and on that thin-mooned night I could see little more than her silhouette; but even in the dark; I could see her eyes - fierce emeralds. And not just beautiful; but hot too. BEFORE. Miles Halter's whole life has been one big non-event until he starts at anything-but-boring Culver Creek Boarding School and meets Alaska Young. Gorgeous; clever; funny; sexy; screwed up and utterly fascinating she pulls Miles into her world; launches him into a new life; and steals his heart. But when tragedy strikes; and Miles comes face-to-face with death he discovers the value of living and loving unconditionally. AFTER: Nothing will ever be the same. Poignant; funny; heartbreaking and compelling; this novel will stay with you forever.
