Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 12, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle shrunk the tumours in her lungs... for now.

Two years post-miracle, sixteen-year-old Hazel is post-everything else, too; post-high school, post-friends and post-normalcy. And even though she could live for a long time (whatever that means), Hazel lives tethered to an oxygen tank, the tumours tenuously kept at bay with a constant chemical assault.

Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at cancer kid support group, Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected destination and a long-needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind.

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



For the first time, I'm actually speechless. After I finished reading The Fault in Our Stars, I found myself torn between deciding if I wanted to rip it to shreds or treasure it. Obviously, I'm going with the latter.

This book was a messy ride - there were times I loved it and times I was weeping like a maniac.
I've heard so much about John Green's books but this is the first book I've read that was written by him. I will undoubtedly be devouring all his other books next. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because I can't. You'd understand why if you've read it. Funnily enough, it may also be the reason why I'm currently speechless - in a good way. I don't want to dissect/analyze it in my review. Honestly, I just want to enjoy it and the way I felt in the moments after I finished reading it.

The Fault in Our Stars was an emotional roller-coaster; funny, gut-wrenching and beautiful all at once. I loved it.
