A review by sazana28
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

4.0

Let me tell you a thing about this book. This freaking book made my heart hurt. This book with these wonderful characters made me think. Think about life in a way that I never thought possible. The importance of the time that we are granted- whether it is time well spent and what exactly does that mean. And Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters surely did talk greatly about what they wanted their lives to mean to people once they died. Hazel freaking made me cry- with her never ending thoughts on what to do once she died and left her parents, amongst other things. But Augustus Waters absolutely gutted me in this freaking book. Do you know how much I cried? How I could not stop reading about his final days- and him wanting to still do something worth remembering- no matter how much my vision blurred?? Then Hazel comes and swoops in and tells him a thing. She goes, "Ya know what? That's bullshit, you will be remembered, and it will be by the people who love you, and who know you best. You will always be remembered and that's what's important. Even if it's not in a blaze of glory, you will not be forgotten." I know this is not an actual quote, but you get what I'm saying, and at this point I was like, can you freaking not Hazel Grace because I can barely see through my tears as it is. I just cannot with this book and this review is as good as it's gonna get right now because I am still recovering so I might fix it later but oh my god I just cannot right now. Ugh. That is all.
