The Fault in Our Stars

Life doesn't have to be perfect for love to be extraordinary.

A tender, emotionally direct romance between two terminally ill teenagers that uses their shared mortality to explore love, meaning, and the weight of an unfinished life.

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 patient named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.
