The Fault In Our Stars by John Green is a cancer story that is not about cancer, it’s really about the lives of some remarkable individuals who just happen to have cancer. Readers follow the lives of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters, along with their mutual friend Isaac, through their ups and downs. We get to follow their little infinity and learn just how powerful the word “Okay” can be. This is one of the most powerful stories I have read, and good news it’s coming out as a movie REALLY soon (Officially June 6th but I get to see it June 5th). You experience the highs and lows that Hazel experiences along with her, John Green writes in a way that makes the words come alive on the page. You get to travel to Amsterdam with her, and fall in-love with Augustus as she does — “It’s a metaphor” — the chemistry between the two main characters is simply amazing, it’s raw, and it’s real! But yet, it’s not a love story that would only appeal to girls, I know of many guys as well who have fallen in love with this book. This is one of my all time top ten books and I will give it 5/5 stars simply because I love it that much. If you haven’t read it GO READ IT, preferably before you see the movie (that John Green himself approved of) and let me know what you think!

Thank you John Green for such an amazing and powerful novel!

*warning make sure you have Kleenex as every time I’ve read this book I became a hot mess of tears*
