What I'm Reading

I just finished reading John Green's newest book, "The Fault in Our Stars". The story revolves around sixteen year old Hazel, who is dying of thyroid cancer, and has been for the past three years. Then she meets Augustus, a survivor of osteosarcoma, and suddenly her whole world changes. Hazel never thought she'd fall in love, and she's bitterly afraid of hurting this handsome young man who offers to help her fulfill a dream. This is definitely a three-hanky read, with deep sorrow and loss inevitable from page one. Yet at the same time, Hazel and Gus are a very typical, if not ordinary, pair of teens, discovering love, romance, and desire. You'll thoroughly enjoy meeting and coming to know them both. I know I did! So next time you feel a need to weep over life, do it with this sensitive, moving, funny novel.
