Okayyy so the book is called Me and Earl and the dying girl and its by Jesse Andrews, its about this guy called Greg Gaines who is at the last year of high school and he is able to fit into any social group (e.g. The cool kids, the goths..). He only has one real friend called Earl who he doesn't actually consider a friend, more of a companion or colleague as the create stop-motion films together.At school there is a girl called Rachel who used to be a childhood friend of Greg, Rachel was diagnosed with Leukemia and Greg's parents force him to "socialize" with Rachel once again and become friends. So yeah they become great friends but of course this isn't some kind of crummy romance, there is almost no romance at all but then again love comes in all shapes and sizes. Earl and Greg make a film for Rachel who loved viewing their films because Rachel gave up her treatment against Leukemia. The rest, you'll find out either by watching the movie or reading the book. Sorry I don't really do reviews but i adored the book and movie. Lets just say it made me fall in love and broke my heart at the same time. Wasn't a complete bad feeling at all honestly xD

Actually sounds really cute :)
>>1 if you like books that simultaneously breack your heart and build it up again (I'm guessing like a bittersweet sorta feeling right?) I'd have to say bridge to terrabithia is a good one also if you haven't all ready you should check out this webcomic called homestuck just stick with it and you'll know what I mean ;) we have a thread about it in comics but beware of spoilers if you take a look at it
