I really liked the writing and the characters are well written even if I didn't particularly get attached to them. I really liked the friendship between Miles and Chip. On the other hand, the character of Alaska disappointed me a little, I expected to know more about her but she remains quite enigmatic (which also makes all the singularity of the character).
I'm putting a warning from here because what I'm about to say can potentially be a spoiler ⚠️ I found the book quite similar to Allé the bright places because of the chapters "...days before/ after" so it gave me a somewhat annoying deja vu and made the plot too predictable. ⚠️ (end of the warning)
I also found the ending a bit long and repetitive, but overall it's still a good read.
