"A perfect book for imperfect people. Me, Earl and the Dying Girl is a gem. It not only deals with the heart-breaking issue of illness and dying but also poverty, violence and coming of age at a particularly difficult time. This book also features the importance of family and true friendship. The incredible thing about the book is that it does all of these things while using the most hilarious dark humor, unpretentious dialogue and morally ambiguous characters. I laughed out loud while reading this book while still appreciating the harsh realities it portrayed." -Miranda
