If you're in for a blend of laughter and tears, "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" by Jesse Andrews could be a match for you. Tackling heavy themes with a lighthearted touch isn't an easy feat, but Andrews does it with a freshness that sets it apart from other coming-of-age novels. Plus, the offbeat humor and painfully honest voice of the protagonist, Greg, might just make this one of the most relatable reads about the rollercoaster ride that is high school life.
