5 stars

In my 2022 #FReadom quest to read books banned or threatened in Texas libraries and schools, my 9th book was Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews. www.jesseandrews.com/me-and-earl-and-the-dying-girl

Besides being uproariously funny, Jesse Andrews dives into important truths: social anxiety and insecurity happen to every one of us, and so does grief. Everybody has to navigate them the best they can, there is no "right" way.
