The book that inspired the hit film!
Sundance U.S. Dramatic Audience Award

This is the funniest book youâll 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 heâs 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 Gregâs mom forces him to become friends with a girl who has cancer. This brings about the destruction of Gregâs entire life.
Fiercely funny, honest, heart-breakingâthis is an unforgettable novel from a bright talent, now also a film that critics are calling "a touchstone for its generation" and "an instant classic."
Includes a teaser chapter from Jesse Andrews' new novel, Munmun!
STARRED REVIEW
âOne need only look at the chapter titles (âLetâs Just Get This Embarrassing Chapter Out of the Wayâ) to know that this is one funny book.â

STARRED REVIEW
âThough this novel begs inevitable thematic comparisons to John Green's The Fault in Our Stars (2011), it stands on its own in inventiveness, humor and heart.â
