 Fiction by Jesse Andrews

This is the funniest book you’ll ever read about death.

That's a pretty good description, I think. 

Greg Gaines is beginning his senior year of high school, and he's trying to maintain a position as everyone's non-adversarial acquaintance but no one's actual friend. Earl could be called his best friend, but really Earl is more like a co-worker. In this no-friend zone is where Greg has been semi-comfortably placed for the past few years, safe but a bit lonely.

Then Greg learns that Rachel Kushner is dying of leukemia, and his mother insists that he should befriend her. 

This was a good book, funny and very different than I expected. It is NOT like The Fault in Our Stars, although both are good books.
