The Truth about Romantic Comedies by Sean C. McMurray

I also really liked Rachel and just love their story. This was such a fun read! I found Timothy to be a great protagonist to cheer for and found myself rooting for him until the end (including wanting to give him a hug when he didn't make the best decisions). Happily-ever-after has never been so hard. Knowing that their time together is running out, Timothy and Rachel go all in on an experiment that will put every romantic comedy cliche to the test, to say nothing of the foundation on which their relationship was built. With his dry wit and easy acceptance of her bright blue hair, Timothy might be the answer to a prayer Rachel hasn't had the strength to ask.Īs a fast friendship blossoms into something more, Timothy and Rachel learn that Rachel's father's job will soon take her family to a new life across the country. Self-proclaimed social scientist Rachel Wilson hasn't reconciled herself to her mother's cancer, but she's doing her best to stay positive.and distracted.

And then the enigmatic Rachel Wilson struts into the cancer center's waiting room. Heartbroken, Tim drives his grandmother to and from her radiation treatments as if the last page of his life has already been written. To make matters worse, his girlfriend inexplicably dumps him through a text message. Trapped by the decaying walls of his family's trailer and saddled with the responsibility of caring for a grandmother stricken with a wicked combination of Alzheimer's and cancer, Timothy isn't exactly thriving in the teenage chapter of his life.

Sixteen-year-old Timothy Gephart's life is a chronicle of loser-hood.
