More than anything, this book is about coming to terms with your own mortality. So for kids like Hazel Grace and Augustus, the future is one big question mark. You see, they live in an era where they've been able to slow the progress of their tumors, but not totally get rid of them. But even though Hazel Grace and Augustus experience that kind of giddy obsession with each other (and trust us, it's pretty freakin' cute), their relationship is, well, a little complicated by their medical statuses. Usually when teenagers fall for each other, it's all exhilaration and excitement and promises of forever. This is a love story in the bleakest sense. It would be your typical teenage-girl-meets-boy story if it weren't for the particulars of how they meet: Hazel and Augustus first lay eyes on each other at a support group for kids with cancer. Hazel Grace is just a normal teenager who is bored with life and likes to quote philosophers (no big deal) when she meets Augustus, a grade A hottie. Brought to us by a master of young adult literature, The Fault in Our Stars will have you laughing, weeping, and perhaps even depressed for a few days after you read it. But it's especially true for the two main characters in John Green's hilarious and heartbreaking cancer-kid novel, The Fault in Our Stars. Who among us hasn't been plagued with a serious case of angst? For teenagers, it seems par for the course (all those raging hormones, OMG).
