Alaska Young is a sixteen-year-old obsessed with sex, and she holds a reputation to be the only girl who hasn't cheated on her boyfriend. She loves him dearly. They're the perfect couple, at least that's what everyone thought.
One night, Alaska went missing. But Miles, or known as Purge, was determined to look for Alaska, to confess his love for her.
This book doesn't necessarily have lovable characters. If you love a character in this book and you don't kin the character, that's pretty questionable. Listen, I love pretentious characters, characters with questionable morals, and sad books. But, this didn't really do this for me.
As said earlier, Alaska is a sex addict- but the thought of a grown man writing sex scenes by teenagers is creepy, don't lie. Alaska was also oversexualized. I know it was supposed to be realistic, but it's just a no for me.

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
