Let me start this blog off by apologizing for only doing two of these active blogs, but I kind of already finished the book. The "after" section of this book, and the ending of this book, is insane. It goes so fast, it is so good, so filled with action, and honestly life changing. Essentially, the "After" section of this book is when Alaska dies. Yes, she dies. You get to know her so well, you want her and Pudge to be together so well, and then she gets drunk and drives and crashes and dies. Yes, she dies. She crashed her car straight into the back of a police car. Pudge tries to figure out if it was suicide, or an accident, but never actually finds out.
Later on Pudge turns in an essay in which he was answering a question that Alaska had asked. "How will we ever get out of this labyrinth of suffering?" He answers by saying that the only way out of this labyrinth is through forgiveness. When you forgive, you can make it out of anything because you can stay sane. This book really made me think about life, and the fact that it can end so quickly and you can leave so many strings untied without even realizing it. It is important to forgive and stay on good pages with people, so neither you or them leaves this world without one another.
