The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Hazel, 16, was diagnosed with cancer when she was 12. It was bad. She thought she was going to die. But miraculously, a new procedure prolongs her life. She’s still dying but not as quickly. Her parents force her to go to Cancer Support Group. Talk about depressing. Everyone there has cancer. Even the group leader is a cancer survivor. One day, she notices a gorgeous guy–Augustus is his name. Maybe Support Group isn’t that bad after all. This touching story of true love will keep readers turning the pages. Funny, sad, heart-warming and tear jerking at times Green takes readers on a journey of hope and survival.
