Crying Laughing by Lance Rubin
5.0
OMG, I AM LAUGHING THROUGH MY TEARS AT THIS POINT. AHHHHHHHH <3 <3 <3
Okay, okay. I have collected myself enough to see past the tears. Jesus, where do I even start. Lance Rubin captures the pure beauty of true friendship, family, and finding a way to laugh even through some of your toughest moments in this heartbreaking yet touching book. I found myself laughing 1 page then....BAMB! I turn the page and I am hysterically crying.
It all takes place with our main character Winnie, who has just turned 15 and is finding her way in high school. (I'm going to try and keep this short and sweet but I have so many things I want to talk about, like ugh I need a buddy to spill all this tea to hmu lol) She seems like a cute, shy girl who has a small group of friends and keeps to herself. But she is secretly a comedic GENIUS. Only her Mom, Dad, and 2 besties know that. So when a cute and flirty guy comes up to her and comments on something funny he overheard, it is quite bizarre. But he invites her to an Improv Troupe and she doesn't know what to do. Why not give it a shot? You're hilarious! But then that night she goes home to share the exiting news with her dad but he has some not so exciting news.....He was diagnosed with ALS.. Now not knowing how much longer her father has left, she tries to find a way to joke through it all. The bad dates, the big fights, the doctor appointments....but what happens when you can't find a way to laugh?
I recommend this book to EVERYONE, I can not stress this enough! It teaches such a good lesson in a way that anyone can relate to.
