The 15 year old me gives it 5+ stars and the current me gives it 3, so it 's a 4.
I really enjoyed this book, and yes, I cried. I actually at one point thought I wasn't going to because I was almost through it and hadn't teared up yet. And then it hit me all at once, which I gather is what happened with most people as well. The love story between Hazel and Augustus was cute and touching at times, and the way Isaac and Augustus bantered back and forth had me laughing sometimes too.
The only thing that really bothered me about this book (and the reason I gave this four stars and not five), was the use of "like" and "whatever" for example, when she was speaking with her mother, "I just want you to like, have fun and whatever." Really Mr. Green? I know that's how people speak these days, I use "like" quite a bit without realizing it. I also know you are writing about teenagers, and that is how they talk, but is it really necessary to use them in your writing? It drove me crazy, to the point I almost stopped reading it. They were not necessary.
