Me and Earl and the dying girl : a novel

Af Jesse Andrews (2015)
Greg Gaines is able to disappear at will into any social environment. He has only one friend, Earl, and together they spend their time making movies, their own incomprehensible versions of Coppola and Herzog cult classics - until Greg's mother forces him to rekindle his childhood friendship with Rachel. She has been diagnosed with leukemia - cue extreme adolescent awkwardness - but a parental mandate must be obeyed. When she stops treatment, Greg and Earl decide to make a film for her, which turns into the Worst Film Ever Made and becomes a turning point in each of their lives. All at once Greg must abandon invisibility and stand in the spotlight
