Synopsis
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl meets Paper Towns in a funny and heartfelt debut about a boy's delirious summertime quest with his ex-girlfriend. The summer after senior year should have been a time for Cam to party and hang out with his friends. It should also have been a time for him to win back the love of his life, Allison Tandy, who'd dumped him so brutally the year before.
But it quickly becomes clear that this summer is going to be worse than a failure for Cam. It's going to be a tragedy.
Ally is left comatose after a terrible car accident, and Cam has torn his ACL in a basketball accident. The operation leaves him in agony, and confined to his couch ruminating over the fact that his ex may not survive.
But when, after taking his medication, Cam starts seeing what appears to be Ally's apparition--he starts to think two things: 1. He might be headed for a complete mental breakdown and 2. This summer might be just interesting afterall.
Brimming with honesty and humor, A Heavy Dose of Allison Tandy interrogates how much control we really have over matters of love . . . and life.
