Looking for Alaska - John Green

I have wanted to read this book for quite some time. And now I have heard the exciting news that it is also being made into a movie! I've heard it's extremely sad, but John Green seems to be incredibly gifted in the way of making one OK with sadness and things not working out the way one expected them to. Happy endings don't always happen. And I do love how John Green acknowledges this truth, but writes about it in a way where one is sad and yet, satisfied with what has just happened.

"If people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane." 

'Miles Halter's whole life has been one big non-event, until 
he meets Alaska Young. 
Gorgeous, clever and undoubtedly steals his heart. 
For Miles, nothing can ever be the same again.'
