Be prepared when you pick up this book. It is absolutely amazing and a must-read for any teenager, but you're gonna need the tissues. (Also, the movie adaptation was one of the most accurate movie adaptations of a book that I've seen in a long time.)
John Green you never fail me. Your books are guilty pleasures in which I feel no guilt. You give me an excuse to cry with your beautifully woven tapestries of love, life, and loss.
I love this book. It is such great writing. I am just such a huge fan of these teens and their healthy, messy, real relationships. I wish I had read a lot more books like this when I was actually a teen. It probably would have really helped me with my own relationship-forming.
This books is about a teenager who is a terminal cancer patient. She meets a really cute boy at a cancer support group and they fall in love. So there is a lot of discussion of sickness in the book. I think I could really relate to a lot of that as well. I don't have cancer, but I have felt betrayed by my body many times and I definitely don't have a trusting relationship with my body.
Anyway, I could go on and on about this book. I really, really liked it. It has great characters (the evil author is so awesome) and really great writing.

This book is amazing! Honestly. It's rarely amazing, not typical amazing. I don't think any book has made me cry and laugh at the same time. Let me tell you this that I never cry over movies and books and while reading this I did. I wasn't expecting this end though, which is good, I had a surprise! I was expecting it to be the other way around. Van Houten is a total ass, I just had to mention it.
Hazel is a cancer kid who spends most of her time at home until she goes to support group and meets Augustus Waters. By the end of the book she barely spends any time at home due to the hard events. :)

i am SAD. four stars cuz sometimes it was like really teen edgy and it made me cringe. usually i like the edgy #different characters but it was kinda a lot at first, it got better throughout! it did make me cry though which isnt super uncommon but a win
Not typical teenagers. A good read. Will check out the movie.
Fantastic book. Quick read, but still manages to make you laugh and cry (a lot of both)... highly recommend. Now I really want to read his other books as well!
