classmates, Rachel is diagnosed with leukemia Greg's mom steps in and forces a friendship weather Greg and Earl like it or not. As the friend ship blossoms Rachel decides to stop the treatment. When this happens Greg and Earl decide to make a movie dedicated to Rachel and are forced to stand in the spotlight.
I personally was not a big fan of this book mainly because it took too long to get to the point. More than half of the book was filled with nothing but back story and when the point had arisen it was not played upon much and still wondered back to the past. Also if you are not a fan of profanity this is definitely not a book for you. It was filled with sexually awkward jokes and many slurs that can be considered to be offensive to some. Over all I would recommend this book if you can handle all of what was previously stated, if not then I would not recommend it.
