by Jesse AndrewsGreg Gaines has High School all figured out. His secret: be nice to every clique, but just don’t let other cliques see you doing this and never commit to the cardinal sin of eating lunch in the cafeteria. Together with his only friend Earl, he gets through the days remaking low budget movies and life is great until his mother ruins everything.When his childhood friend Rachel is diagnosed with leukaemia, his mother forces him to rekindle his lost friendship with her. As socially awkward as he his, for some reason, Gre has the uncanny ability of making Rachel laugh. But when Rachel decides to stop her cancer treatments, Greg can think of only one thing to do – make a film for her which not only turns out to be the worst movie ever made, but also becomes the turning point of his life. One would think a book about cancer couldn’t be funny, but this book is absolutely hilarious, sad and heart-warming all at the same time. Greg is sarcastic and crass and the story moves along at a fast pace.
