If you haven’t been living under a rock for the last few
years, you know that this is the story of a girl who falls in love with a boy
for the first time. The catch is that both of these characters have cancer. The
girl’s cancer is Stage IV and is placated for the moment thanks to some miracle
drug, while the boy’s cancer is in remission.
A lot has been said about this book since it came out a few
years ago, so I won’t bore too much with the details. And those who’ve read my
review of If I Stay know that I spent
four days back in 2012 reading not only this book, but also 13 Reasons Why as well, and for about a
week afterwards I was a complete wreck.
In honor of the movie coming out, and because it’s been two
years since I’ve read the book, I decided to reread it and I completely forgot
how much of a quick read this book is. The only reason it took me three days to
read was because I always, always get
stuck on what happens after Hazel and Augustus come back from Amsterdam. It is
just…
Okay? Okay.
Final Rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Another John Green book that
is just amazing, and another YA book where the parents didn’t get on my nerves.
Hazel had amazing parents. Augustus did too.
Bookshelf worthy? I’ll confess, I own two copies. One is the
one pictured above the other is the digital edition for my iPad.
