#49: The Fault in Our Stars John Green

Jacket Copy: 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.

Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green’s most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

My Thoughts: While this book is darker and more depressing than some of John Green's others, it still has the trademark john green touches. It also surprised me with how uplifting it was; but at the same time, it didn't follow the cliche of being a cancer book that tries to paint an optimistic picture--it was much more realistic and honest than that.
