So this is written by John Green (who is probably the most hilarious human), and is a real tearjerker. It's about Hazel Grace who's a teen fighting cancer. It's not your typical cancer story - where the entire plot is about the disease - no, it's about living with what you have. Hazel has this really overbearing Mum who insists that if Hazel stays in bed for too long, she'll end up with depression, so Hazel gets made to go to a super cheesy meeting for teenage cancer patients. She makes fun of how stereotypical everything is, until she locks eyes with Augustus Waters (*swoon*). He's basically her saving grace, and he teaches her to not "deny herself of the simple pleasures in life" like loving other people.
This is a crazy amazing book, and it's actually being made into a movie soon. So far, I haven't met anyone who hasn't absolutely loved this wonderful novel!
I know a few guys who've read this, but I really think all girls should be forced to read it at some point in their teenage lives. It'll make you laugh, cry, smile, dream and maybe have a few minor heart attacks along the way, but I promise anyone who reads this blog, that you will in no way regret reading 'The Fault In Our Stars'.
Remember to comment any requests, or tweet me on @story_of_liv ! I've had nothing so far, but I'd love to talk to people about this kinda stuff, because I think I might be a little obsessed....
