Last night, I finished The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.
I had very high expectations for this book. John Green did a really great job with describing the characters. I became attached to everyone immediately. Everything Hazel did intrigued me. The deeper I got into the pages, the more attached I got. I can see why everyone who recommended it to me did.
I liked this book because the story was fiction, but the topic wasn't sugar coated. It wasn't a story about a strong girl everyone loved and she also wasn't an inspiration to everyone. (But she inspires me.) She didn't expect people to baby her and tell her it is okay. She had a very real view on her Cancer.
The Fault in Our Stars doesn't have a happy ending. I do agree with my friend, Emma, who recommended it to me: It is a real ending. It isn't a stupid love story where everything is happy and fake. It is real life relatable. It is a melancholy story. I followed the story of two young people fall in love, everything is flawed but they try to make the best of it.
It touches me that Hazel didn't want to be the one who hurts Augustus with her soon to be death. In the end, she realizes he was the one to hurt her.

Nina, this is a great reading response, and I agree with your points about the book. Is there a chance you have some unpublished posts? You seem to be missing a few.
