Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews


Greg Gaines only has one friend, Earl, all they do is make movies, their own twists on Coppola and Herzog cult classics.

Until Greg's mother forces him to revive his friendship with Rachel.

Rachel has been diagnosed with leukaemia--cue extreme adolescent awkwardness--but a parental decree has been issued and must be obeyed. When Rachel stops treatment, Greg and Earl decide to make her a film, but which turns into the Worst Film Ever and becomes a turning point in each of their lives

When I first started reading Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews, I was a bit iffy about it. At the start of reading this book I got uninterested in the beginning because it seemed a bit dull. But when I kept reading I felt so captivated because of the humorous writing and realism. If you compared it to The Fault in Our Stars you could see how diverse these 2 stories are. I would highly recommend this book to anyone to people who like real life stories or comedies.
