Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Seventeen-year-old Greg S. Gaines has perfected the art of getting through high school without being noticed. He learned how to navigate Benson High School in Pittsburgh, PA using his system; he is friendly on a surface-level with every clique in the school, allowing him to remain virtually invisible. Greg’s only contact is with Earl, who he considers a co-worker and who he has known since kindergarten. Greg and Earl create films together—over 40 of them by their senior year—but no one at school knows this side of Greg. This all changes after Greg’s mother learns that his “accidental” ex-girlfriend from Hebrew school in sixth grade, Rachel Kushner, has leukemia.
