Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars brilliantly explores the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

BACK COVER:

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.

REVIEW:

Don’t let the script and Young Adult genre placement fool you; The Fault in Our Stars is anything but an easy read and is great for all ages. It will break your heart in every way: as a parent, a lover, a teenager, a survivor, and a victim. Green will have you falling prey—not by the fact that yes, this story is cry-your-eyes-out tragic, but by your craving to gulp it down in one afternoon. It is delicious in every manner we wish a book to be. It is heartbreaking beyond repair, and it is of our own doing that Green breaks our hearts because we hope for a happy ending despite knowing it can’t exist. The surrealism, the hope, the courage, and the devastation that surrounds the characters leaves us feeling everything they feel. We cry, we hope, we dream, we imagine. We fall in love. This is the story of overcoming. This is the story of being alive when dying. This is the story of teenage love—a love only few encounter and fewer survive—amidst impossible odds and devastation. Read it and weep your eyes out.
