"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 beautiful."


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.

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.
