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

2.0

this book was picked for book club during the one meeting I skipped.........

My main deal with this book is Augustus reminds me of a former friend of mine who, at the time, I had recently found out was a completely piece of garbage, so my feelings on Gus as a character were completely colored by this. Spoiler: I hated him. he was absolutely insufferable to me.

I knew the end of the book before I read the book. It was... a super common spoiler to see. I didn't really mind knowing it though because I super was not that invested in the book.

I liked Hazel and Isaac was cool too, I heard he got almost completely cut from the movie?? What a shame.

The hands-down best part of the book was [SPOILERS] when she found out her mom was secretly going to college. Most important part of the book by far and worth reading just for that honestly.

rating: would not re-read. i find john green's writing a little too self-congratulatory for me. was not an entire waste of time to read bc of the aforementioned scene with her mom.
