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.
