Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His
whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous
last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more
(Francois Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and
anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life
becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The
gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and
utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She
pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and
steals his heart. Then. . . .
After. Nothing is ever the same.
