The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green
5.0
Maybe it’s me being a product of the 2010’s but I absolutely adored this book. I first read it when I was a teenager. I remember sitting at a picnic table at a rest area in the spring, reading the last few words of the book, and wondering if I would ever pick it up again. I took a few moments to study the leaves and think about how the sunlight felt on my skin. I’m now 21 and am attempting to reread John Green’s books (all of which I own and have significantly altered my personality…duh).
This book was better than I remember it being. Often, people tease about the “deep” content in this book and call it pretentious but I think it poses significant questions for young readers to reflect on, and it makes death feel normal, but still painful. I think this is an amazing read. John Green, I love ya, buddy.
