Description

This is the funniest book you'll ever read about death.

It is a universally acknowledged truth that high school sucks. But on the first day of his senior year, Greg Gaines thinks he's figured it out. The answer to the basic existential question: How is it possible to exist in a place that sucks so bad? His strategy: Remain at the periphery at all times. Keep an insanely low profile. Make mediocre films with the one person who is even sort of his friend, Earl.

This plan works for exactly eight hours. Then Greg's mum forces him to become friends with a girl who has cancer. This brings about the destruction of Greg's entire life.

A funny little novel about friendship, identity and acute myelogenous leukaemia.

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is a witty, poignant exploration of how life’s unpredictability can turn everything you think you know on its head. A must-read for those navigating the tumultuous waters of adolescence and beyond.
