The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars is a novel by New York Times best-selling author John Green (Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns).

I've read Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of katherines, but I must say The fault in Our Stars, by far, is my favorite!

The novel follows the story of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters, and with their friends attending the support group, as they go through each day while battling cancer.

Despite the characters being cancer patients, that doesn't mean the book revolves a medical story. As Hazel and Augustus becomes closer and closer, they find themselves falling for each other, until their sickness got the best of one of them.

The book may end on a sad  note, but you can't help but fall in love with Augustus (or at least I did)

For me, it is a must-read for those who have loved. And lost.


Favorite lines:

- "In the darkest days, the Lord  puts the best people into your life"

- "I want to see you again tonight. But I'm willing to wait all night and much of tomorrow"

- "Sometimes people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them"; "But they keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping promises anyway"

- "That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt"

- "But I believe in true love, you know? I don't believe that everybody gets to keep their eyes or not get sick or whatever, but everybody should have true love, and it should last at least as long as your life does"

- "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you"

- "And in freedom most people find sin"


I hope ya'll got to enjoy as much as i did. And Yes, I cried, too. John Green is genius.
