The Fault in Our Stars

As a self declared Nerdfighter, I must say I was tremendously excited about The Fault in Our Stars (#tfios) by John Green and let me say, it did not disappoint.

The novel follows the lives of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters, two teenagers who had cancer and was in remission. Of course they fall in love but what is so amazing about this story is not what they learn about each other but what they learn about themselves.

They read a book called An Imperial Affliction and because the ending of that book is so abrupt they seek out the author and find out what happens to the characters.

I don't want to give too much away about the plot because it adds so much to the story to walk blindly into it. One moment I have to stop reading because I'm laughing so much and the next SECOND I'm sobbing like a baby; it's just that good.

So, I definitely suggest you go to your local bookstore and buy this book. Don't just borrow it from the library because I guarantee this is a re-read book.
