Expert novelist John Green comes back brighter than ever with The Fault in Our Stars, bringing us into the life of Hazel, a sixteen year old girl with thyroid cancer. Although she is terminal, she has been somewhat of a medical miracle with a tumor-shrinking drug she was put on. Living with this disease has never been easy for her. It’s filled with depressing moments and bursts of anxiety, and she’s come to the conclusion that the Cancer Support Group her mother sends her to is the last straw.
That is, until Augustus Waters comes into the picture. Augustus is a cancer survivor, kind, beautiful, and smart. He sweeps Hazel off of her feet and shows her a world she’s never known, stuffed to the brim with life lessons, poetry, and champagne. The Fault in Our Stars will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and when you turn the last page you’ll want to reread it, taking in every last detail.
