When I finished reading John Green’s Looking for Alaska, three things went through my mind. The first was that this book was okay. Not great. Not really good. But just okay. Second, the only character that I actually liked and found relatable was The Colonel. I absolutely loved his humor! And finally, I thought that the infamous Alaska Young was by farone of the most self-centered and obnoxious fictional characters I’ve ever encountered in a novel.

For most people, you’ve been waiting for what seems like your whole life to enter the part of your life that–at least according to, like every movies, books, and TV shows ever–is the time in which the most momentous parts of your life are to occur. You know, like going to prom, playing varsity sports, or getting the lead in the school play. But once you get there, most of those things don’t just happen to you–you have to wait your turn. Prom is reserved for juniors and seniors, so you have to be asked if you want to go. You make the JV field hockey team. You get cast in the ensemble in the school musical.
Nothing is wrong with any of that, obviously, but it makes your freshman year a little…less than thrilling. Don’t worry, though–I’ve picked out the perfect books to read during your freshman year that’ll make each semester much more exciting.
