John Green knows how to make people weep. A emotional teenaged love story fraught with the realities of living and the fact that, most of the time, we just want to keep living.

Throughout the book, both Augustus and Hazel appear as if they are not teenagers. Gus having cigarettes, but not lighting them was probably the most teenager thing they have done in this book. The interaction between them was cringe, and didn’t find it adorable, rather unpleasant.
Also, their use of words is too sophisticated for teens. They may have been mature from their experience of battling cancer and constantly walking the line between life and death, but they are truly living their world and lack sympathy for adults who have been hurt in the past. After they lose respect for Peter Van Houten, they look down on him a lot. 
I’ve never got cancer and been through a near-death experience. However, I hope to appreciate and love what’s around me and myself, as well as others with empathy, not blindsided by the pain and struggles I face and treat others with disrespect.

That feeling when you’ve just read a book that makes you want to cry, but also leaves you with the warmest feeling? That’s this book. Augustus and Grace keep you entertained 24/7, and the book just kind of pulls you into a warm hug. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!
