Author: John Green
Grab a box of tissues and this book, sit down, and prepare to bawl your eyes out and then want to go back to the first page and read it again and again.
This book is freaking fantastic and it's also an emotional train wreck. Hazel and Augustus are both teenaged cancer patients trying to figure out how to live with their circumstances. I mean, when an author as talented as John Green is writing a book about a subject like cancer, you know it's going to be a tear-jerker, and TFiOS does not disappoint.
Very rarely can a book make me laugh out loud, cry, laugh some more, and then sob through the last eighty pages. Even rarer is a book that can do that and then make me want to pick it up and start right back over again. TFiOS does that and more.
I don't know how much I can say without spoiling too much, but: Swedish hip-hop, Amsterdam, the Literal Heart of Jesus, and a cast of characters that is entirely unforgettable -- you NEED to read this book.
