I read this in 2012 & this reread was prompted by the book getting banned in Green‘s home state (Indiana) which is also mine. They pulled it from the young adult section which is an absolutely shocking decision. I loved revisiting these characters and reminding myself that there‘s absolutely nothing inappropriate in this book. It remains my favorite of his YA books.

My daughter read this book about five years ago and I watched the movie with her back then. Last month I decided to listen to the audiobook. Another five stars for Green. I always immediately care about the characters he brings to life. The narration on this was some of the best I‘ve heard as well.

The Fault In Our Stars follows the story of a young teen girl that soon discovers she suffering from thyroid cancer. On her journey, she finds herself falling for someone she never intended to. For a long time, she had been following a writer that‘s inspired her for a large chunk of her life, this is her most life changing event as what she imagined her role model to be is not even close.

Cristina.Sarmiento-Moreira If you like books that involve real-life struggles and adaptations to them, then you‘ll love this one. The point of view in the book is first person as Hazel demonstrates to the audience everything from her own thoughts, to what events are happening around her. She explains how she feels about suffering from her diagnosis and her experiences going through it. 12mo
MissYaremcio Thanks for the review Cristina! I always feel like August is not quite like an actual teenage boy! 6/6 12mo

I‘d been so busy with work that I wasn‘t reading much for so long.
These are the books I read during my vacation home! (Aside from The Mysterious Benedict Society, which I read last fall-ish.) I‘m tagging the one I liked the best. It was really a narrative style that I love—want to read more by John Green for sure! I didn‘t love ACoTaR or EHaD, but a lot of reviews say the sequels are better—thoughts on whether I should give them a chance?

I‘m not a YA or romance reader, let alone a YA romance reader, so me reading this was already a stretch. There were certainly parts that were endearing or poignant and, for awhile, I thought I was actually going to love it. Ultimately, it didn‘t land for me. I‘ll leave my biggest gripe in the comments with a spoiler warning. I listened to this one and I thought the narrator was top notch.

My second #roll100 read for January

sarahbellum Making out in the Anne Frank house where everyone applauded them instead of thinking they were incredibly disrespectful. And then leaving to have sex… didn‘t realize the atrocities of the Holocaust could have that effect on people 1y

This book took me several chapters to get into. But it was overall a good read! Definitely shows an interesting take on life and the process of dying… and who we influence as a result.

I started this book in October of 2021 and I read the first 2/3 chapters over and over again without continuing it.
Two weeks ago I chose to read it all and I honestly don't regret it at all. I thought it would make me cry, but the most hurting thing in this book wasn't so much described, so I think it's because of that that I managed not to cry.
but it was a really good book!

Who understands the meaning and reason to live more.

The book is about a 17 year old girl Hazel who has cancer. She meets a boy named Augustus who used to have cancer also but is now free. They go through a lot together and create a genuine connection but in the end Augustus has some issues…
This book is really good i would recommend it there is never really a dull moment while reading.
This book is written in the first person POV, Hazel is the narrator.

MissYaremcio Thank you for the review Gianna, I would have liked more on how the POV is established but otherwise nicely done. 5/6 2y

You NEED to read this book! This book hits the highs and the lows and you can feel it while reading this book. The way Green puts his ideas into words is amazing, he has just a perfect way with words. It also changed the way I think for the better. I really recommend you read this book.

#ItHadToBeYou #FirstLove
This book reminds me of my own first love - I read it after starting a long distance relationship. He and I both read the book and wrote notes in the margins for the other to see. It made us feel more connected even though we were so far apart. The relationship didn't work out but I still have that copy and it brings back memories when I see it.

So I‘m a little late to this party (like 10 years late)… but I‘m glad I read this even though I‘m not typically a big YA reader. I‘m also currently reading The Anthropocene Reviewed by the same author and loving that one (five stars). ✨

The fault in our stars is about the story of a young girl in her teens named Hazel Lancaster who is suffering from lung cancer. Her mother, who see‘s her daughters loneliness and struggles, convinces Hazel to join a cancer support group. Hazel eventually accepts, while still being reluctant about it. There she meets a young boy named Augustus, the two off them grow a friendship and possible relationship over the shared love of books. Until one (1)

jadynhoy book Hazel reads that spikes an interest about her situation with cancer. Hazel, desperate to find the answer to a question in that book, sets off with Augustus in search to meet the author for further information. But the more they plan for the trip, the more the cancer catches up to them. It‘s up to the two now to decide their fate with (2) 2y
jadynhoy eachother before times runs out. If you like books that have dramatic and slightly saddening topics, as well as tough situations that revolve around cancer, then I recommend this book. The point of view of this novel is first person, and through the perspective of Hazel herself. Hazel tells the story while referring to herself as “I”. We also know the author establishes this because he gives us many thoughts and struggles that are inside (3) 2y

This was the most beautiful and the saddest story I‘ve ever read! It was the first book that ever made me cry. I still can‘t get over Augustus‘ death. Romeo and Juliet isn‘t the most tragic love story. This is.

I can‘t, this book was so well written I don‘t have any words. This book set me off on a rollercoaster of emotions, first it was a rollercoaster the only went up, until nearing the end when it all went down to hell... (ps. Congratulations if you caught the references, Okay?) 😉
(The fan art isn‘t mine, there were no credits 😔)

“Ma‘am,” Augustus said, nodding toward her, “your daughters car has just been deservedly egged by a blind man. Please close the door and go back inside or we‘ll be forced to call the Police.”

Augustus stepped toward him and looked down. “Feel better?” He asked. “No,” Isaac mumbled, his chest heaving. “That‘s the thing about pain,” Augustus said, and then glanced back at me. “It demands to be felt.”

“All salvation is temporary,” Augustus shot back. “I bought them a minute. Maybe that‘s the minute that buys them an hour, which is the hour that buys them a year. No ones gonna buy them forever, Hazel Grace, but my life bought them a minute. And that‘s not nothing.”

“Girls think they‘re only allowed to wear dresses on formal occasions, but I like a woman who says, you know, I‘m going over to see a who is having a nervous breakdown, a boy whose connection to the sense of sight itself is tenuous, and gosh dang it, I am going to wear a dress for him.”
(Ps. I would like to point out the change from ‘Girls‘ to ‘Women‘. John Green really put a lot of thought into this.)

9/10 because screw you for making me cry (even though I already knew what was going to happen lol). It is still a great story about love and it was heartbreaking but I loved it a lot regardless.
