Me and Earl and the Dying Girl | Jesse Andrews

pick

Low pick; the narrator Greg was almost insufferable but I was definitely Team Earl! Read for the Banned Book category of #AsheCoNCReadingChallenge #Aug2023 Book77

LeafingThroughLife Greg was definitely so insufferable. I only managed to give this a “so-so” because of him. 🤦‍♀️ 2d

BkClubCare @LeafingThroughLife - could/should be a book to be discussed, perhaps so that Greg‘s behavior could be explored through his grief and approach to human relationships. Even just why the adults loved the video and the students didn‘t would be an amazing conversation? Anyway, I thought Earl was terrific and deserved better (so did Rachel) 1d

This book was so good. Just like many of Freida McFadden‘s other books it had a good story and a great twist at the end. Some of it I had figured out but there were a few surprises along the way. Overall a book that I would highly recommend.

lil1inblue Full disclosure - I bailed on this one at 35% because it triggered me. Hard. However, had I read this book in high school, it would have helped me unlock so much. It would have been so valuable when I was still in the trauma. Just knowing I wasn't alone in my feelings would have done wonders. 6d

Hey #WithTheBanned readers!! Discussion posts for our August book are coming. Like always, I‘ll tag everyone in the first post. There are 5 questions in total.

Also, in the next few weeks, I‘ll put up a post for suggestions for 2026 reads. Start thinking about books you‘d like to see on the schedule next year.
