A stop along the way.
Yesterday they asked about you . . . And they told me how lucky I was to have a woman like you. Do you know I envy you? She's very beautiful. You never tire of looking at her. Never worry if she's smarter than you: you know she is. She's sensual without ever being mean. You can tell you love her. You're so lucky she loves you.

Looking for Alaska
Where to start?
Looking for a Alaska is a coming of age romance book written by Jhon Green, author of books such as:
- The foult in our stars
- Paper towns
- An Abundance of Katherine’s
- Will Grayson will Grayson
- Turtles all the way down
We decided to read or re-read this books because we are both really big fans of it, as well as having previously read other books by Jhon Green.
Valeria:
I have read all of Jhon Green books except for his last release “The Anthropocene Reviewed”. Every time I have really enjoyed them since I find it easy to relate to his characters. My forever favorite will always be “Paper Towns”, however “Turtles all the way down” and “Looking for Alaska” are a close second.
Sofia:
Let’s talk business…
The book is narrated by Miles, who starts of this story by telling us how he had really REALLY low expectations for his Good-bye party, we learn that he is in fact not popular at his current school (unlike what his parents thought)
His parents get to see what Miles goes through socially when only two people show to the Goodbye party. And even though his parents think this is the reason he is going away for college, the real reason is because Miles just want to find new things in life.
Miles talks a lot about famous people and their last words and quote them. When he gets to school he meets his roomate, Chip.
Chip is the typical roomate who becomes best friends with Miles, in the books he is really funny, and rather then being called by his name, he and other call him The Colonel, which ends up giving Miles a nickname too, Pudge.
Right after, Miles meets Alaska, shes just special. And Miles and Alaska get to talk during the first day b y the lake about famous people and authors and quotes.
Thats what we've read so far, we´ve got to know the characters and how they interact with each other. I can't wait to see how their dynamic develop through the book because we've seen a lot of differences from when we read it in spanish than now reading it in English.
This is Alaska in the show Looking for Alaska :).

I'm in love with you," he said quietly.
"Augustus," I said.
"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.

Io e Davis non avevamo parlato molto, nemmeno ci guardavamo, ma non importava, perche’ guardavamo lo stesso cielo insieme, che comunque e’ forse piu’ intimo del contatto visivo. Chiunque puo’ guardarti. E’ raro trovare qualcuno che vede lo stesso mondo che vedi tu.

Maybe there's something you're afraid to say, or someone you're afraid to love, or somewhere you're afraid to go. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt because it matters.
