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.

A Romeo and Juliet love story, but instead of feuding families killing them it's cancer.

I don't know why I chose to read this book less than two months after my dad dying from cancer, but this book was so beautiful that I just couldn't stop reading it.

I was instantly drawn into these characters and I struggled between really wanting to read more about them and not wanting it to end.

I think it's still too fresh to write a proper review, but I do know that these characters will live with me for a long time.
