Running away for beginners

On the journey, they come to understand each other better as everyone's secrets come out. Except Jasper doesn't tell his friends his own secret: that when the return journey begins, he won't be going with them. A funny, heartfelt journey of a book, with vivid friendship dynamics and an unforgettable protagonist and narrator facing devastating news This story was inspired by Mark Illis's own experiences from when he was a teen diagnosed with cancer Perfect for fans of John Green and Nicola Yoon
