The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault In Our Stars is the fourth solo novel of author John Green. It follows a teenager with cancer as she falls in love with another afflicted teen and they explore what it means to discover love when your days are numbered. The novel, referred to by fans as TFiOS, was inspired by Green's fan Esther Earle, but it is not based on Esther's own struggle with cancer.

Teaser
"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."
