Yes it centers around school aged teens, but the themes of death and eternity and purpose and state of being are themes that really pop up in our 20s (so goes my experience).
As a teenager, reading this book felt more like an angsty love story, and while I did relate to Alaska and her depression, it was a very surface level comparison.
Now as an adult I still relate to Alaska, but more in the way that I understand and relate to how frustrated she was with how the world worked, and how her heart yearned for answers, and a Great Perhaps. I think on some level we all desire to find our Great Perhaps, maybe we even wonder whether there is one.
