Greg Gaines tried hard to keep a low profile high school life while making mediocre films with his friend, Earl. Until his mom forces him to befriend an almost lover who's dying.

This book gives both familiar and unfamiliar feeling. This is the first time that I read a YA character that acts, speaks, and thinks his age. The protagonist was so random and spills truth about being young and clueless.

After putting the book down, I was thinking hard about the lessons I learned from it. Any thing life changing? None. However, it gives a couple or three realizations:

One, people can be too self-absorbed, at the same time, see the world in a hideous lens: they cannot live the way they want to. They are too afraid of how the world will view them, when in reality, no one cares. Everyone is too self-absorbed.

Next, people are not responsible of other people. I mean, in a lot of ways, we affect each other. However, as what Earl have said: 'I'm surrounded by family members doing stupid shit. I used to think I had to do shit for them. I still wanna do shit for them. But you gotta live your own life. You gotta take care a your own shit before you get started doing things for everybody else.'

Last, people think they try to exert effort for other people, but during the act, they forget that they are doing it for other people. It becomes about them. And it is sad. And most of the time, it is already late when they realize.

There you go. Give it a read.

watched #meearlandthedyinggirl last night, loved it (although all the #brianeno made me want to cry with nostalgia, like when I hear #burningairlinesgiveyousomuchmore i just don't even know how old I am or what's going on). now I'm loving the #bookversion just as much, great style to compliment the plot and characters. #boomworm #readingrightnow #fortheloveofbooks

Here is my July book haul. I got a lot of these on bargain for less than $10 so I did pretty good. Still a fairly large haul than I normally have and I'm especially excited that I got ACOTAR & ACOMAF for $5.97/each 😱 I can't wait to read them. What book(s) did you get for July?

Finished ‘Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl.’ Decided I’m gonna do one of these every time I finish a book, motivation to read and to draw! #meearlandthedyinggirl #jesseandrews #handlettering

📖✨ Reading this book felt like watching a film (the adaptation itself was good but I missed Rachel’s real laugh, and I know we shouldn’t rant about the subtractions but 😢). Anyway, the writing style was unconventional (in a good sense) and the dialogues were hilarious. Coincidentally, I watched a Filipino film called “Write About Love” just recently and since it was narrated from a writer’s point of view, I kinda got that mental picture of the “Script” like writing style. ✌️ There are lots of great reviews about this novel, but I’m not sure if I’m in the same level of awe. I mean it was okay, and I was truly amused (the writer’s definitely smart too) but maybe I just didn’t relate to the main character very much. I think I loved everybody else a little more than Greg 😅 (the film kinda explained him tho so that's a save). ~•~ #jesseandrews #MeEarlAndTheDyingGirl #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookswormsuae #bookwormsph 📚🔖 https://www.instagram.com/p/CR7vsu4hs4g/?utm_medium=tumblr

Me, Earl and the Dying Girl - Jesse Andrews

The best ideas are always the simplest

[lordsassypantz]

Pretty good. The movie takes some poetic license. May even be better than the book. #reading #finished #meearlandthedyinggirl (at Crispers)
