“I admire a story that wrecks me, and The Fault in Our Stars is one such beast. Cancer’s a dominant character, but love is more so. By no means an easy read, this is a story to read. Hazel, the narrator, is a quick-witted teenager, a girl learning to navigate herself, her sickness, her family and a boy, Augustus, whom she meets, another witty one, and both with a lot of life already packed in their few years. If you’re afraid it’ll make you feel bad, yeah, it might. Because the craft, the development, are great, the story feels real, it gets right in your guts and rearranges them and you come away scooped but satisfied, too, having witnessed what an organism love can be, and how it can affect us and all we grow inside.”—Sarah N., Grass Roots Books & Music, Corvallis, OR.
