Now, this is what [b: The Fault in Our Stars|11870085|The Fault in Our Stars|John Green|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1360206420s/11870085.jpg|16827462] should’ve been like - real teenagers acting and talking naturally in a believable setting.
I was able to connect with the two main characters in this book and empathized with them even more so because the characters were allowed to naturally exist in a space that didn’t feel contrived. I like the emotions this book took me through. Even though I'd read this book before, I also found myself shocked at the plot twist of who dies in the book . At one point in the story, I even started to feel myself becoming angry at the two characters when they made what I deemed as a bad decision, but this just let me know that the characters had depth making the story feel even more organic to me as a reader.
I appreciate the fact that Rachel Lippincott and the other writers created fully fleshed out characters. These characters' personalities and the situations they were placed in felt convincing in the context of the story. This allowed me as a reader to be able to react to the storyline and not get bored in moments where I felt like I "knew how this story was going to end." That being said, I'm excited to see how this book translates to the big screen.
If you like this book, I’d recommend reading or watching the movie [b: My Sister’s Keeper|10917|My Sister's Keeper|Jodi Picoult|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1369504683s/10917.jpg|1639903] by Jodi Picoult, which is another tear-jerker about kids who have illnesses and who try to make the best of it. Picoult’s book also tackles the issue of family dynamics when a loved one has a disease that makes them terminally ill.
