Wow, keep a box of tissues handy!  I literally cannot believe how much this book just made me cry!  John Green never disappoints me.  Well first off, I totally recommend this book to ANYONE.  The protagonists in this novel, Hazel Grace and Gus, are two young cancer survivors who fall in love.  However, one of them relapses.  This is not a sappy love story, John Green’s books are always funny and quirky.  And although this book involves cancer, Green has a way of keeping it light and funny (in the beginning).  At the end, let’s just say things get rough.  By chapter eighteen I was crying.  The characters are developed very well from the main character to more minor characters like the parents.  I never thought I’d like the name Hazel, but now I do.

I love the title – alludes to Shakespeare (I’m such an English nerd).  It’s also just a pretty way of saying how even the most beautiful, fascinating things have faults – “the fault in our stars”.

Please pick up a copy of this book and read!  Let me know how you feel about it!
