This is how you overcome the Manic Pixie Dream GirlTrope. A character can be dying and be unpleasant, be difficult, and even be uninteresting. Some people come into your life and suck. *That* is how real life works.
It was not sad at all, well it was a bit sad, but not heartbreaking-sobbing sad. More like depressing but hilarious at the same time. I was afraid it was going to be a sad romance story about someone dying. I'm not saying I don't like these, but since The Fault in Our Stars, I've seen way too much o...
This book is what I wanted The Fault in Our Stars to be. It's infinitely superior in pretty much every way. No insta-love, no pompous, maudlin speeches that no real teen would ever utter in seriousness, no hot guys being forgiven for creepy staring because they're hot, and no kissing in Anne Frank'...
Well... that was weird.So have you read The Fault in Our Stars?

As a parody it does the exact opposite of everything including:- a shallow main character wh...
When I heard that this is going to be turned into a movie showing this September, I scrambled to read this. Also, it was in my TBR for a long time now, so.. two birds with one stone.Having read TFIOS, which I liked, I was prepared to have a dose of reality. While TFIOS was good, I agree that it pain...
** 3.5 stars**I have mixed feeling about this book. Parts of this book are hilarious, while other parts I don't really get the point of. The ending disappointed me. I thought it was just thrown together. I wanted to read this book before I found out that it was going to be a movie, but knowing that ...
Goodreads summary: Up until senior year, Greg has maintained total social invisibility. He only has one friend, Earl, and together they spend their time—when not playing video games and avoiding Earl’s terrifying brothers— making movies, their own versions of Coppola and Herzog cult classics. Greg w...
While the topic of this book is Rachel having leukemia and dying, it is told from Greg's point of view and he is funny. He tells us of his interactions with Rachel as she goes through treatments but he focuses mainly on himself and his writing of this book. It is very tongue-in-cheek but the teen-ag...
The film "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" came to one of our local theaters last month. That surprised me because although we have a 15-screen independent theatre and a 10-screen chain theatre neither is particularly good about scheduling independent art-house pictures. Since I heard that the film...
