Reading response Looking for Alaska (Spolier Alert)

This week I finished Looking for alaska by John Green, the first half of the book was more of a happy more uplifting half. But it the "before" part ended with Alaska and pudge kissing and Alaska leaving in a drunken haze of confusion and anger but nobody stopping her, only helping her off campus whenever she wanted to leave. Pudge and Colonel fell back asleep and woke up only to realize their bestfriend had been killed in a terrible accident the night before. Basically the rest of the book is them coping with the loss of Alaska, and how much of an impact somebody can make on someones lives without you even realizing it. Before you know it someone you love can be gone, and pudge realizes that by the end of the book, and personally, I think he finds his great perhaps.
