Review: The Fault in Our Stars

“Okay,” he said. “I gotta go to sleep. It’s almost one.” 
“Okay,” I said.
 “Okay,” he said. 
I giggled and said, “Okay.” And then the line was quiet but not dead. I almost felt like he was there in my room with me, but in a way it was better, like I was not in my room and he was not in his, but instead we were together in some invisible and tenuous third space that could only be visited on the phone. “Okay,” he said after forever. “Maybe okay will be our always.”
 “Okay,” I said.
 It was Augustus who finally hung up.”

Synopsis

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.

Review

I read this book with the knowledge that I will ultimately fall in love with it, how could I not? John Green is my imaginary literal husband and as a literal husband he irritates and confounds me but without even trying, he wraps me around his world and as a helpless literal wife, I fall helplessly at his feet, weeping for more. 

The story centers around Hazel diagnosed an incurable cancer when she meets the Gus, charismatic and good looking. They go through the trials, emotions ranging from love, death coping with cancer the best way possible with as much humor as possible. I laughed, cried and learned to enjoy life. The Fault in Our Stars is a triumph, John Green is a genius, masterful with a flare for creating all kinds of emotion.
