A bit over a month ago I finished The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and lets just say it was amazing!! I cried so bad and laughed so hard but it was honestly such a good book - so if you haven't read it yet- you NEED to!
'Despite the tumour-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'

- From the blurb of The Fault in Our Stars
The story follows Hazel Grace Lancaster, a young girl who is terminally ill with lung cancer. At a cancer support group she meets Augustus Waters. Unlike Hazel he has currently been cancer free for about a year but had lost one of his legs from the knee down.Augustus has feelings for her but Hazel doesn't want to grow too close because she is scared of ,in her words, "blowing up like a grenade" and hurting him.The story follows how their relationship develops and has some gut wrenching plot twists.
Although the idea of the main plot being about a girl with a terminal illness may seem a little depressing, it's amazingly written by John Green in a way that you can feel the crushing sadness of their situation while also having bursts of humour in just the right places. I love how Hazel is just an ordinary teen and is definitely intelligent and a bookworm, which I love in a female protagonist ( I'll have another blog post on that soon).
I love how there are some really sweet and silly moments between Hazel and Gus and their relationship is adorable.For obvious reasons I'm not going to give away the ending of the book but I want to say that most of my friends who've read it were surprised by the ending and it will ruin you in a way that only a book can and I mean that in the nicest way possible as I LOVE this book.

The movie adaptation is also on its way
Here's a link to watch the trailer:
All in all I think this is an amazing book that I would definitely recommend to anyone and I'm looking forward to the movie, which comes out June 6th. Lots of my friends have recommended other books by John Green so hopefully I'll be getting around to picking them up and reading them soon.
Bye for now
