Ich hab das Buch angefangen und wollte es gar nicht mehr weglegen. Es ist so einfach und doch kompliziert geschrieben, man taucht ein in Hazel's Welt und wird mitgenommen auf ihrer Reise die sie mit Augustus erlebt. Es ist so herrlich erfrischend bis es so herzzerreißend traurig wird und dennoch geht es stetig weiter mit Weisheiten für das Leben. Ich habe mit dem Buch gefühlt und es verschlungen. Eine bittersüße Geschichte geschrieben in einem einzigartigen Stil.

Alright, I’ll cut to the chase here, I hate this book and it is personal. As someone who’s parent died of cancer and then was told I should read this to ‘gain insight’ (what) on what my own mother went through (John green is just some guy he hasn’t had cancer?? why would he know what it’s like and why do we hail this book as THE cancer book)… Yeah, no thanks.
Buut, outside of like, the traumaporn, what is there to like about this book? why do people love it so much??
