Vada’s Reviews > Looking for Alaska > Status Update

So far, I’ve reached to the point of the book where it transitions to the “after” stage. But before that, everyone wakes up the next morning completely hungover, regretting their mistakes of the night before. Mike tells Alaska she should drink less, and later leads to Alaska telling everyone that she is not doing well, and is mentally ill.

Since it’s thanksgiving break at Culver Creek and everyone’s gone - other than Alaska and Miles - they lurk around the campus sneaking and breaking into peoples dorms, finding out their biggest secrets and violations that the Eagle has not found. The Colonel’s parents find out and send him out to go retrieve them. The Colonel returns to Culver Creek and takes them home to celebrate Thanksgiving.

So far, everyone went on a date at the basketball game, which Alaska went with her boyfriend Jake, and Pudge went with some other unknown girl. The date was a splurge and a mess so everyone ended up going home. Pudge stays at Culver Creek for thanksgiving with Alaska for small hopes of hooking up, or something better.

*spoilers*

So far Miles seems to be getting closer to Alaska. I think this because Alaska are Miles seem to be talking more, and also seem to be hanging out together (not hanging out with just each other I mean with other people). Also, they had this 'study group' where they were doing algebra and in a way, they really seemed to connect with each other and were pretty happy.

The book is weird but kind of adventurous so far. Alaska is quite the character, and Alaska and the kernel are having relationship troubles. I don't understand why they're still together though.
