YA
When Alex's best friend is diagnosed with cancer, she asks Alex to help her complete a "Fuck-It list" (like a bucket list, but edgier). Alex tries to be supportive while mourning her recently deceased father and hooking up with a crush. Unapologetically abrasive (and R-rated), the novel is heavy on tragedy but a realistic portrayal of cancer's far-reaching effects.
