#Review ~ The Fault in our Stars by John Green

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. 
**Spoilers ahead**

Five Stars

Okay.

I am a sobbing mess.

I’ll be completely honest. Though I’ve heard of this book, I’ve never really wanted to read it because, well, you know. (And if you don’t, then you must be living under a rock – just sayin). Anyway, once I saw the movie trailer, I was more convinced than ever to never read it. I’m not a fan of books that don’t end happily.

I LOVE AUGUSTUS!

What a slut time is. She screws everybody.

My emotions were all over the place and I swear and I have never cried over a character as much as I did over Augustus. How am I ever going to watch the movie adaptation? I will definitely have a box of tissues handy and ready to go. What a be
