Summary: Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.

Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green’s most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

My Review:

This book… wow… it’s been on my wishlist since it came out, and my only regret is not getting a first printing copy, because all of those were signed.

This book leaves you wanting to scream and cry, and it actually did make me cry, the first book that ever did, because books usually don’t get to me.

I sent my mom about twenty texts while I was reading this, all angry at the author, so I waited about two weeks to write my review because if I wrote it that night I would be all sad and upset and I couldn’t appreciate the good qualities.

I LOVED this book. I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED it. It was hilarious. My favorite quote is ‘ma’am, your daughter’s car has just been deservedly egged by a blind man. Please close the door and go back inside or we’ll be forced to call the police.’ But, there are so many other quotes that are just as amazing!

It’s a hilarious, heart-breaking read, and you won’t regret reading it- it’s going on my list of top ten favorites!
