The Fault in Our Stars is a beautiful book, with a heart-breaking story that dives you through hundreds of emotions at a time. The main character of the book is called Hazel-Grace Lancaster, she has cancer, and from the beginning of the book, we can see that she has accepted the fact that her cancer is terminal, and forever is not an option.
Her mother forced her to go to a Cancer Support group, which was supposed to make her feel like she was not alone. But Hazel hated them, because she knew that secretly all the kids at the peer meetings were competing with each other, and she hated the idea that they all had to make these sad stories so that they feel like they have it worse than the rest of them. Hazel's only friend there is a guy called Isaac that loses his eyesight later on to cancer.
Through Isaac, Hazel meets Augustus, one of Isaac's best friend's that had cancer, yet he got rid of it.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you many things about the book because there would be far too many spoilers. I recommend the book to everyone that has wants an eye-opening experience alongside the characters.
Green yet again writes a compelling story, creating a character that seems strongly researched and thought of, planned through and created step-by-step. He displays a cancer patient's pains through a different, care-free perfection, despite all the problems, he shows that cancer patients are not really depressed truly, they try to make the best of life no matter whatever they have, and this book displays it strongly.
