Miles, or Pudge as he is often referred to, is searching for the "Great Perhaps". To him, that means something beyond the mundane. After much persuasion, his parents enroll him in a boarding school in Alabama. It's there that Miles finds not only a taste of the "Great Perhaps" but also himself. His infatuation with his classmates, mainly a girl named Alaska, led him down a path of self-growth and sorrow. John Green finds the perfect words to keep the readers invested in the personal development of Miles. He beautifully (in a way only John Green can) weaves sentences together to leave us in awe of the story. This novel is filled with tear-jerking events and we spend a great deal dissecting them all in this week's episode. Join us as we dive deep into Looking for Alaska by John Green.

You guys, we start off wobbly this week as we must begin the show without our trusty Skype intro jingle, but like the true professionals we are, we keep on keeping on.

He also shares that he has received a request to audition for a romcom, so naturally he is going to be the next international heartthrob (watch out, Sarah). Brandi gives us a little Adams wedding insight as she dishes on Wells' wedding invitations, and Wells dishes on Blake's new show.
