Miles Halter or "Pudge" as he is referred to throughout the book is the main character, and the book starts with Miles leaving Florida to attend a school in Alabama. He is introduced by his roommate to beautiful, mysterious and emotionally confused Alaska Young, and the story progresses, mostly centered around Miles' life at Culver Creek and his growing attachment to Alaska. There are also essential parts of teenage life thrown in casually and skillfully to the story, such as pranks, bets and catastrophic parties.
The beauty of the book is that it doesn't hide anything. It highlights what young love and growing up really are in a brutal and honest light. How the characters communicate, their relationships with each other, their pasts and the pleasure that comes with being a bad kid shines through the pages. I really enjoyed reading this book, and I will highly recommend it to anyone.
