This book had been on my TBR for quite a while, but after attending the Me and Earl and the Dying Girl panel at BookCon, I knew I had to read it. Jesse Andrews described this as a funny book about something that isn't funny and I couldn't agree with him more. This story is not happy, nor is it about happy things. It's about trying to be invisible, about dying, about growing up in a dysfunctional home, poor and fatherless, but it was all relayed to us with humor. This story was about the things Greg didn't realize he had or wanted. For me, the story was more in the things that Greg did NOT say. It was between the jokes and one-liners and it made me think. When a book leaves me laughing, crying and thinking, I cannot help but give it a high rating.
