Happy Bookstore Romance Day! To honor the celebration of romance books and our bookstores, this is one of my personal favorite romance novels. Granted, that doesn't say much, since I don't read much romance, maybe two or three books a year.
I do love The Fault in Our Stars both because the story is incredible and because I adore John Green. The story features Hazel, a 16 year-old girl who was diagnosed with lung cancer, and Augustus, the teenage boy who catches Hazel's eye at a support meeting for cancer patients. It's a great book, and while it's been a while since the first time I read it, it's worth a re-read!
Do We Want to Turn the Page?
The Blurb:
Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.
Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw,
The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green;'s most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.
