Well done
I liked this more than I expected. In particular, though the characters on occasion were cliche, overall I found them unique and believable. Lots of humor in a tough situation. And a GREAT title, even if borrowed.

funny and sad
the main characters are very hilarious especially when they are trying to get on each others nerves. but as their tragic circumstances does not improve, their sense of humour seem to be one way of living meaningfully in their last days together. suitable for teenagers who are going through tough times.

I Loved it
I am a 77 year old married male who almost never reads fiction. I heard about the book on NPR and ordered it. I found it to be a very interesting look into the lives of several young people less than one fourth my age who were facing things I can only imagine. I highly recommend this book.

Brilliant!
Characters brought to life with great narration. Laughter and tears make this story one of the most memorable I have read in years.
