The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars by John Greene
Summary: Hazel is a 16 year old girl who has an inspiring story.  Diagnosed with a terminal cancer at age 13, Hazel thought that she was done for.  But when her doctors tried an experimental drug on her and the tumors started going away, Hazel was pronounced as a miracle case.  Hazel did not feel that inspired though, as she went into a sort of depression as she was released from the hospital.  So when she was sent to a cancer survivor support group, she was not trying to find friends or even love.  But Hazel most certainly did. When Augustus Waters, a fellow cancer survivor, shows up at the support group, Hazel can do nothing but stare.  As their relationship develops through Augustus's charming lines and motives, Hazel gains hope for life.  Through silly dates and Wishes and favorite authors, Augustus and Hazel find a love unlike any other, as they know just how to value the life that a person is given.
Review: This book touched my heart as I cried a river while reading this inspiring and heartfelt novel.  Hazel is an image for any girl to look up to as I did myself.
Recommendation:  I would recommend this book to any girl from the age 14-18.  The content is mature and it is one of the saddest books I have personally ever read--but it is most definitely the most inspiring.
