This book is the best and most honest story of love and loss
that I have ever read. It centers around a girl, Hazel Grace, who suffers from
terminal cancer in her lungs. She is somewhat of a cynic that is until she runs
into Augustus Waters at a cancer kid support group. And with that John Green
takes us on a ride that, I believe, will last through the generations. Even
with the inevitable conclusion that we are gonna come to the death of someone
too young, I found myself unable to put this book down due to the amazing love
story unfolding. I also found that this book teaches you to enjoy this life we
have and the little moments of joy in it. A quote from this book that will
always stick with me is "some infinities are bigger than others."
I highly recommend this book to all fans of love stories,
young and old. I can't say this enough: The
Fault in Our Stars is one of my favorite books and maybe the top love story
I have ever read.
