[Cancer and Society] Die young with me

In the refreshingly unconventional Die Young With Me, Rob Rufus has reinvigorated the cancer memoir genre. Readers discovering this book outside of the strictly categorised worlds of bookshops and libraries could be forgiven for thinking they had discovered a work of fiction, something akin to John Green's The Fault in our Stars. The first person narrative coupled with the high school setting and cast of teenage characters serve to further this fiction-like tone, as does the introductory storyline: boy meets girl, the outcast and the cheerleader.
