The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

The Book: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Summary: 16-year-old Hazel Lancaster has thyroid cancer that spread to her lungs, and now required the use of an oxygen tank. One evening at cancer support group, she meets Augustus Waters who lost a leg to osteosarcoma. The Fault in Our Stars explores love, life, and loss. It is filled with both humorous and heart-breaking moments.

Thoughts: I don't even know where to begin with this book. It is beautifully written. I spent quite a lot of time flip-flopping between laughing and crying. Sometimes the best books are the ones in which you become so emotionally invested in that you have to 1) read it alone and 2) share it with everyone you meet once you are finished. This is one of those books.

Rating: 5 out of 5
