Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Jesse Andrews
Literary Fiction, Contemporary Fiction, Teen + Young Adult

The funniest book you’ll ever read about death.

Greg Gaines has mastered the art of survival in high school: keep your head down, stay invisible, and make terrible amateur films with your only friend, Earl. It’s not much of a plan, but it works—until Greg’s mom insists he reconnect with Rachel, a classmate recently diagnosed with cancer.

Forced into a friendship he never asked for, Greg’s carefully controlled world begins to unravel in awkward, hilarious, and unexpectedly moving ways.

Jesse Andrews’s Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is a brutally funny, honest, and heartwarming story about friendship, failure, and the weird, painful process of growing up when life refuses to follow your script.
