Summary
Hazel Grace Landcaster is a grenade she is a three year stage 4 cancer survivor who should have blown up years ago and she would have if it wasn't for the miracle drug that continues to keep her alive. As a result Hazel is depressed and does nothing but watch tv and attend cancer kid support group (at her mothers request) once a week. One day while attending support group Hazel meets Augustus Waters a smart, funny handsome young man who really makes a difference in Hazels life. This is not just a story about kids and cancer it is a great love story about two people who are willing to stick it out until the end.

Review
The fault in our stars is a wonderful story about love and loss. I really enjoy this story and the romantic interest between Augustus Waters and Hazel Landcaster. Some people do not enjoy this novel because they feel that the characters are not believable (how they talk and behave). I feel that John Green created very believable and interesting characters this book was actually his best books (my personal opinion). Although the stories main characters are two kids who have cancer the book is not about cancer it is about love, death and acceptance.
