bookblurbage 's review for:

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
3.0

*There are some sensitive themes in this young adult book.*

I found the style of writing was colloquial which makes this book very special considering the painstaking emotions, as well as coming of age and heart wrenching story you experience with Hazel. Some very sensitive themes here but is written in a really poignant way.

⚠️Triggers: Death, cancer, life threatening illnesses, alcoholism, strong language, anxiety

You find within the book that Hazel makes quite a few parallels about how ‘normal’ she wants to be and it isn’t very often that you find her happy in her own skin. She constantly worries about her parents and feel she has to be strong for them which is really admirable even though admittedly and quite naturally both her parents are her constant form of support and in doing so worry about her a lot.

I wasn’t expecting the plot twist. I hadn’t watched the film prior to this so had no expectations.

I really liked how emotionally invested I was and how it kept me engaged throughout. Now for the big question: would I read John Green’s books again? I certainly would.

As I’m a harsh critic and I’m still not a big fan of books of this nature I shall give this a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review. I’m looking forward to watching the film now to see how they portray the novel.
