The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
5.0
This is the first book I remember properly reading. I must've been around 10? 11? and it still remains to be one of my stables. The story of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters is a rollercoaster of emotions; when reading you feel joy for their love and envy for their relationship but then comes the sadness and realisation that these two people can never be forever.
John Green is such a wonderful writer and 11 year old me was vibing with his content - I have a few of his books on my "to read" list which I can only expect to be as good as this one.
Today as I was flipping through his book I saw at the start he dedicated the book to 'Esther Earl', who was a book fanatic who John met at a Harry Potter fan conference in 2009. She sadly in 2010 passed away due to thyroid cancer. I feel like this adds something special to the book because it makes us - the audience - stop seeing this book as fiction but as something that people like Esther, go through in their lives.
Truly fantastic read, recommend to any book reader!!!!!
Also, the movie captured everything about this book in such a beautiful way so if you aren't sure about reading it, definitely go watch it.
