really not gonna lie, the ending of the book really got me -- got me in my feels...
me and earl and the dying girl is fast-paced and easy to read; the language is very simple and can be enjoyed by many :) however, it does touch on sensitive issues quite casually and [i would say] coarsely. in the beginning, i was just reading for the sake of it but towards the end, i found myself immersed in the characters' emotions. there wasn't much character development for the main character and somehow, this made the book hit much harder than expected. it was almost realistic - how he was thinking and acting.
this book was written in a different generation, and does mention racial slurs so idk how to feel about that
