i love how kristine and charlie just whisper to each other throughout it, you can really tell how well the cast gets along with each other :,) im so excited for when the show comes out i already love the cast so much ohmy

[@dominiquecros2994]

This was like the best adaptation ever

[@fmellark]

It's like casting young Chad Michael Murray and young Margot Robbie for the roles. Amazing.

[@PierceFamily]

The school's filming location is a place I went to retreats growing up and is the place I imagined when I read this book for the first in high school. I got to be an extra in the basketball scenes. My husband is even playing Tim Simon's double. I am so invested in this story. I cannot wait for October 18th. ETA: Denny Love is EVERYTHING

[@lucian6892]

So...did you see the series? What do u think about it? :)

[@BLUEBOYLUGOS]

tim sims needs a double? for what scenes?

[@PierceFamily]

@@BLUEBOYLUGOS Tim had to leave Louisiana for a few days throughout the series because he was doing press for veep at the time! My husband was there for some of the halloween basketball scenes. He knocks on the dorm door with a flashlight at one point.

[@upenditv731]

This book saved my life. Don't feel insignificant for its existence.

[@mickeygray1955]

The correct answer to 25:03 is: "No one can catch the motherfucking fox"

[@TheSoHysterical]

KZbin recommendations are working correctly for once!

[@stephaniefoster8603]

Happy soccer John feels comfortable, unfettered, and out of his own head. I love it.

[@Blinkmarilynrainbow]

I read this book years ago and I’m soooo stoked that they’re finally making a live adaptation of it !! I love almost all of John Greens books . He’s an amazing author ❤️

[@GhoulishGwyn]

The two works of fiction that changed my life the most were Looking for Alaska and Runaways. So grateful to these producers for adapting both.

[@xndr6085]

I hope they will do this book justice. I love this book sm 💕

I mean I super-love web series and you definitely go crazy when you get to know that there's going to be a web series that's about a book written by your favourite author, I mean, loads of love to the book, the web series, the cast, everything and everyone!

[@nicworsham6590]

Here before it blows up in awesomeness

[@un4givenstudio896]

I remember me and my friends making this book into a music video for "Stephanie Says" by The Velvet Underground, because we wanted an adaption of this book so badly! I am so glad all of this is happening! You can check out the silly music video that we made in my channel 😉

[@argxoxo7326]

this in 2022 on netflix will still be a hit

[@hisetip]

John must be sooo hyped inside ahah

[@bubble992]

My favourite meme is "Are you taking pictures of me dude?"

[@jaysondavidmontero7319]

Kristine looks like Margot Robbie from a far

[@delrey874]

Kristine Froseth is so cute👍

[@chelsea_1395]

THE KILLERS!!!! ❤️😭

[@kayley2671]

is there ANYWHERE to watch the scenes/clips/first look stuff they showed at BookCon?

[@penguinteenbooks]

Not yet but hopefully soon

[@kayley2671]

Penguin Teen i hope :))))

[@khadiza..]

I can see how she looks like Margot Robbie, but she also reminds of the actress who plays Ryn from Siren.

[@ohrwein7154]

Does anybody know if it is goint to be 20 or 40 min per episode? 40 min would be sooooooo awesome

[@elvankarakilic]

Ohrwein well they said 8h of „material“ and given the fact that we‘ll have 8 episodes an episode has to be atleast 40 min

[@jonathanaimoto]

the countdown about to give me so much anxiety

[@alascasc]

Omggggggg 😭❤️

[@taylorcorkern7251]

Some of the scenes were shot at my school

[@bartomiejwoda7730]

[@blake.henderson]

[@ashlgrae]

[@uin6575]

Patriarchal paradigm...

[@argxoxo7326]

[@soumiabenrekia5796]

Omg kristine is gorgeous

[@doresal2265]

5:38 😂

[@FinanceWisdomTech]

They did justify the book.

[@qb8713]

😭❤❤❤🌼🌼🌼

[@Lord-V15]

So there was no movie then?

[@mcarts4722]

excuse me im watching the OC now... MARISSA DIES??!!!!

[@omer084]

Ne kadar malca ve rüküş giyinmişler ya Kristine hariç adam Liverpool formasının altına klasik ceket giymiş ya :D

[@toxicgrounds1008]

this is awkward, right? like it's not just me?

[@taqqiraja2722]

This would have been so boring without John..

[@skyylind191]

i gotta be honest, so far i'm really not a big fan of the casting for this series :/

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

I don't know if this gives you hope but the actors are really good in other stuff and they LOVE the material. Kristine was actually told to audition for the part and John said he cried when he saw the audition. Also the actor who plays Coronel memorized big chunks of the novel because he was so into the character. I get it if you're still skeptic, though. It's just good to know the people making it really care.

[@amoraaleigh]

@@Carlos-ln8fd For me, I love that Alaska is curvy. There aren't that many leading ladies who are curvy in a "good" way. So I'm a bit disappointed that they missed finally having representation for that body type.

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

@@amoraaleigh Yeah, that's sad. I agree.

[@Ellesssssssssss]

It’s weird that I’m so pumped for the show considering how much of a disappointment the book was to me (whoops sorry)
