I liked this coming of age story about a couple of high school misfits (Greg and Earl) who are friends, and learning how to be friends. They are forced into the life of Rachel, a fellow students diagnosed with terminal cancer. They cope with life and death the best they can, while also coping with high school and fitting in and self discovery. I would say this is a much better exploration of the emotion of illness than The Fault in our Stars was, mostly because of the way hope and futility were woven together. And it was simply a quirky set of relationships and activities that drove the plot along. Enjoyable.
