The unmissable and genre-defining first novel from John Green, the international number one bestselling and award-winning author of The Fault in Our Stars and Turtles All the Way Down.

Includes a brand-new Readers Guide featuring a Q&A with the author.

Soon to be a HULU TV Series!

β€œIn the dark beside me, she smelled of sweat and sunshine and vanilla and on that thin-mooned night I could see little more than her silhouette, but even in the dark, I could see her eyes – fierce emeralds. And beautiful.”

BEFORE. Miles Halter’s whole life has been one big non-event until he starts at anything-but-boring Culver Creek Boarding School and meets Alaska Young. Gorgeous, clever, funny and utterly fascinating she pulls Miles into her world, launches him into a new life, and steals his heart. But when tragedy strikes, and Miles comes face-to-face with death, he discovers the value of living and loving unconditionally.

AFTER: Nothing will ever be the same.

Poignant, funny, heartbreaking and compelling, this novel will stay with you forever. Now a TV series from HULU.
