The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

5.0

I can't even put into words the amount of joy this book gave me. Through all the tears it brought me, (there were many), I have never read a book that gave me so much. I learned an incredible amount about myself and life in general from this book and it enlightened me enough to realize the things that matter. I've been given a wonderful family that I know I've taken for granted and through this book I realize pain that I put them through without realizing. It might not be as awful as if I had terminal cancer, but I know when I do things to hurt them, it never really sunk in. I realize now. I know that when my boyfriend tries to make me happy and do the littlest of things for me, it isn't for himself but simply for the sake of me smiling. Life can give you a lot of things, including many window panes of glass opportunities just waiting for you to grasp and cherish. The more chances you let slip by, the more panes break; and eventually, they'll all be used up and you'll have nothing left to view the world outside.
