When Miles Halter leaves his safe, comfortable life in Florida for Culver Creek – a boarding school his father used to attend – he's looking for what French poet Francois Rabelais called the Great Perhaps. Miles thinks he's found it in Alaska Young – beautiful, flirty, sexy, but messed up Alaska. Her mood changes like the flip of a switch. She smokes and drinks too much. Miles couldn't be more in love with her.

Moments of this novel reminded me very much of Meg Rosoff's stories, and her unflinching approach to sensitive issues. Bookbag recommends [[How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff|How I Live Now]].
