Miles Halter is done with being predictable. Obsessed with famous last words and longing for a life less beige, he leaves home to find his “Great Perhaps” at Culver Creek Boarding School.
There he meets Alaska Young. Brilliant, reckless, and unapologetically alive, she flips Miles’ world upside down. With her comes friendship, love, heartbreak, and an avalanche of existential questions he never saw coming.
But Alaska is more than the mystery she projects. When tragedy strikes, Miles is left grasping for answers in a fog of grief and guilt. What was real? What did he miss? And how do you keep going when the person who changed your life is suddenly gone?
One girl. One moment. Everything changes. But what comes after is where the real story begins.
