The chemistry between Hazel and Gus seemed genuinely real like I was standing there with them, and I really enjoyed the many gorgeous lines written in the story. But unlike other YA romances, this novel was beautifully and heartbreakingly realistic. But when she meets Augustus "Gus" Waters, a cancer survivor, her life completely changes. Our protagonist, Hazel Grace Lancaster, has been struggling with cancer for almost all her life. Normally, YA romance stories have me rolling my eyes at the cliché lines or unrealistic premises, but The Fault in Our Stars did not do that. I loved this book when I was in middle school, and as a high schooler, I'd still have to say that it's one of my favorites. The constant memorable and hard-hitting lines still linger in my mind from time to time, even after years of reading this novel. As an avid reader of John Green's works, Green's writing style continues to blow me away. A romance novel about a teen struggling with cancer, this story is down-to-earth, beautiful, and painfully sad.
