If you are going to read only one book this year, it needs to be John Green’s “The Fault In Our Stars.” This is the story of Hazel Lancaster, a teenager with cancer. At a cancer support group, Hazel meets Augustus Waters, and the two bond over Hazel’s favorite book, “An Imperial Affliction.”
Hazel’s witty narration provides an honest account of what it is like to be a teenager with a terminal illness. As I watched Hazel and Augustus grow closer, I cried then laughed through my tears. This book surpassed my expectations, and it is by far Green’s best book yet.
