The Fault In Our Stars by John Green


I have to admit, I haven't been on in awhile and my memory of all the books I have read over this period of time may need a little bit of jogging. 


The Fault In Our Stars is my second favorite book next to the Hunger Games trilogy (all of them, I consider as one book). It is a book about children with cancer, but it is not about the cancer, it is about them living their lives. Sure, none of the story may happen if none of them had cancer but that doesn't have to be the center of the book. 

Hazel Grace Lancaster, a young cancer survivor, meets Augustus Waters at this Support Group and Augustus is immediately in love with her, but Hazel holds back because she doesn't want to hurt him in anyway. She doesn't believe she'll live through her cancer much longer and that may be true, and it may not. Augustus doesn't see her point and still continues to love her. Every time Hazel went to the hospital, he would wait for her in the waiting room, even if she didn't want to see him. Hazel is just another fangirl of books, so when she has a favorite book, Augustus reads it.

Though there is this one book that brings them closer and closer. This is by far Hazel Grace's favorite book of all time. An Imperial Affliction. It is Hazel's dream to meet the author, for the book ends in the middle of a

She wants answers, so does Augustus, for he read the book as well. Augustus loves her so much, he would use his remaining Wish (a Cancer Perk as they put it) to take her to Amsterdam where the author lives.

Amsterdam is where a lot happens. Want to read more of this fabulous book? Go get it now! You won't be disappointed.
