Love this story very much ! At first I don't like the style of the author, for example I never finished "The fault of the stars", but this one is absolutely incredible ! It's a coming-of-age story, and a little bit a love story but don't read it for this, which talk about how find his place in the world.

I would love the Alaska view point it should be so interesting to see how she really thinks !
