Summary

TIMES 2020, los 100 mejores libros juveniles de todos los tiempos

Greg, un joven muy peculiar, verá cómo su vida cambia cuando su madre le obliga a visitar a una chica con leucemia.


Según Greg Gaines, el secreto para salir airoso del instituto es no ser amigo de nadie pero llevarse bien con todos. Su lema es «sin amigos no hay enemigos». Solo tiene a Earl, con quien se dedica a grabar versiones terribles de sus películas favoritas.

Hasta que vuelve a ver a Rachel.

Rachel tiene leucemia, y a la madre de Greg se le ocurre la brillante idea de obligar a su hijo a que sea su amigo. Greg tiene claro que esto no va a ser una de esas típicas historias de amor entre una chica en estado terminal y un chico que de repente se enamora de ella. Pero, de todos modos, hay algo especial entre Greg, Rachel y Earl...

Cuando Rachel decida dejar su tratamiento, Earl y Greg le harán un homenaje: grabarán para ella La Peor Película de la Historia. Y Greg tendrá que dejar la seguridad de su anonimato para darle a Rachel justo el final que su historia necesita.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

TIMES 2020 100 Best YA of All Times

The New York Times bestselling novel that inspired the hit film!

This is the funniest book you’ll ever read about death.

It is a universally acknowledged truth that high school sucks. But on the first day of his senior year, Greg Gaines thinks he’s figured it out. The answer to the basic existential question: How is it possible to exist in a place that sucks so bad? His strategy: remain at the periphery at all times. Keep an insanely low profile. Make mediocre films with the one person who is even sort of his friend, Earl.

This plan works for exactly eight hours. Then Greg’s mom forces him to become friends with a girl who has cancer. This brings about the destruction of Greg’s entire life.

Fiercely funny, honest, heart-breaking—this is an unforgettable novel from a bright talent, now also a film that critics are calling "a touchstone for its generation" and "an instant classic."
