Alright, I’ll cut to the chase here, I hate this book and it is personal. As someone who’s parent died of cancer and then was told I should read this to ‘gain insight’ (what) on what my own mother went through (John green is just some guy he hasn’t had cancer?? why would he know what it’s like and why do we hail this book as THE cancer book)… Yeah, no thanks.
Buut, outside of like, the traumaporn, what is there to like about this book? why do people love it so much??

A classic tragic love story. I’m a little late to TFIOS party. I remember watching the movie years ago and taking part in the “Okay? Okay.” I felt the book was exactly what I expected it to be. It was young love, emotional and raw when you add the aspect of cancer. A classic gem.
