The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
5.0
God I loved this book. I cried so many times; some were happy tears, others were the kind you can't help but cry when you feel your heart shattering into billions and billions of tiny pieces.
Hazel Grace Lancaster got her period then found out she had cancer. At 13, she was diagnosed with Stage IV Thyroid Cancer, but at 14 a "medical miracle" shrunk the tumors in her lungs. Now, 2 years post-miracle, Hazel Grace (and I would just call her Hazel, but it just doesn't sound right) lives as normally as she possibly can, always attached to an oxygen tank. But then, one day at Cancer Kid Support Group, Augustus Waters shows up and barges into Hazel Grace's life, although not entirely unwelcome.
I will say that, even though this book was amazing, Hazel Grace and Augustus are very mature for their age. I like to think it's because of the cancer and since they couldn't do much during chemo, they probably filled their time reading and learning what they could outside of normal school. But sometimes they confused me. Though their humor leveled it out.
I want to put so much more, like how I fell in love with Augustus and Hazel Grace and their almost simplistic loving relationship but outside of that there were so many things leading up to a "plot twist" as I like to think of it as. Many people told me the ending of this book, and I will not will not ruin it for other people because this book is beautiful and real and amazing and everyone deserves to shed the happy tears and the not so happy tears because they read it. Not because they were told and it was shocking so they put the book on the shelf.
The Fault in Our Stars was beautiful and real and so so heart wrenching. But it was worth every tear, and every sob and every single stuffy nose.
