I wish I had read this book in middle school so I could fully appreciate it as the desired audience. I also wish I had read the book before watching the movie (although I did enjoy the movie more and it had a few differences in details). I think I would have enjoyed it more. All in all, I enjoyed the story of two teenagers and their journey together, and even as an adult, it makes you truly question your beliefs and, in my case, reaffirm them and inspire me for the future. To not take life for granted. For that, I would recommend this book.

At first, I gave this book a 4.75 because I LOVED it but I hated how sad it was. But after some re-evaluation, this book DESERVES a 5. My first 5-star of the year. This book was recommended to me by my mom who read and watched the movie. I loved the romance. Gus and Hazel's chemistry was SO good. I was just surprised because of how many people have cancer. You think its rare but, yes I know this is fiction but it can still apply to real life, there are so many people struggling with cancer. ANYWAYS VERY good yet depressing book and I would recommend this book. I'm excited to watch the movie!

After movie: THE MOVIE DESTROYED ME MORE THEN THE BOOK!! The thing that really bothered me (which I can look over) is when

they’re in the anne frank house and talking (which is a bit rude) and making out. AND the people CLAP?? That really pissed me off for some reason.

But other than that, AMAZING movie loved it.
