Looking For Alaska by John Green

This is the third John Green book I've read, and it's fantastic! (Although my favorite John Green book is still The Fault In Our Stars). The characters were three-dimensional and all likable--which is rare. I'd recommend this for lovers of realistic fiction and if you liked any of John Green's other books! (Plus it won the Printz award, which is a GIANT accomplishment!!!)

Summary (from GoodReads):
Miles "Pudge" Halter is abandoning his safe-okay, boring-life. Fascinated by the last words of famous people, Pudge leaves for boarding school to seek what a dying Rabelais called the "Great Perhaps."
Pudge becomes encircled by friends whose lives are everything but safe and boring. Their nucleus is razor-sharp, sexy, and self-destructive Alaska, who has perfected the arts of pranking and evading school rules. Pudge falls impossibly in love. When tragedy strikes the close-knit group, it is only in coming face-to-face with death that Pudge discovers the value of living and loving unconditionally.
John Green's stunning debut marks the arrival of a stand-out new voice in young adult fiction.
