I picked it up again this year, 6 years later and I felt more empathy for all the characters and for myself and my friends in highschool.
It was a great and terrible time and how I wish I could go back sometimes.

Spoiler
How am I supposed to be utterly devastated when Alaska dies when I don’t even know her? And in regards to her death, almost all of the “After” section just feels really repetitive. It picked up more toward the end, but that’s because Pudge and the Colonel were finally starting to function normally again. I feel like I’m shitting too much. I really did like the book I swear.Graphic: Death, Child death, Alcoholism, Suicide, and Alcohol
