The Fault in our Stars by John Green is the story of a 16 year old girl named Hazel Grace who was diagnosed with cancer at age 14. Everyone believed that she would die, but through some medical miracles she overcame it and is now in a cancer support group. There she meets Augustus Waters. Augustus is definitely interested in Hazel Grace. The story follows their journey to live their life as best as they can, their growth in their relationship, and their struggles during their battles with cancer.
John Green is an incredible writer, with a strong talent for writing books that can easily be related to a teenager’s life. His books are filled with stories that you just can’t put down and with characters whose sense of humor and views on life will stick with you for a long time. The Fault in our Stars was named a New York Times bestseller and special editions of the book have just been released recently.
I would recommend this book or any of Green’s books to anyone who is looking for something to read. The book has a strong plot, fantastic characters, and makes you cry, laugh, and sit there to really think about what the characters are saying.
