by John Green
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.
Indie Booksellers’ Choice Awards, 2013
"Starred Review. Beautifully conceived and executed, this story artfully examines the largest possible considerations—life, love, and death—with sensitivity, intelligence, honesty, and integrity. In the process." - Booklist
"Damn near genius... Simply devastating... Fearless in the face of powerful, uncomplicated, unironized emotion." - TIME Magazine
"[Green] delivers more than a collectible …with keen observation and empathy…producing a story about two incandescent kids who will live a long time in the minds of the readers who come to know them." - People, 4 out of 4 stars
"Funny…Poignant…Luminous." - Entertainment Weekly
"A pitch perfect, elegiac comedy." - USA Today
"A smarter, edgier Love Story for the Net Generation." - Family Circle
"Green writes books for young adults, but his voice is so compulsively readable that it defies categorization. He writes for youth, rather than to them, and the difference is palpable….You will be thankful for the little infinity you spend inside this book." - NPR
"[Green] shows us true love—two teenagers helping and accepting each other through the most humiliating physical and emotional ordeals—and it is far more romantic than any sunset on the beach." - New York Times Book Review
"What makes this novel compelling is not a thrill-a-minute plot but the authenticity of characters deeply engaged in trying to live 'forever within the numbered days.' John Green deftly mixes the profound and the quotidian in this tough, touching valentine to the human spirit." - The Washington Post
"Perfect in every way." - Sacramento Bee
"Starred Review. An achingly beautiful story about life and loss." - School Library Journal
"Starred Review. Acerbic comedy, sexy romance, and a lightly played, extended meditation on the big questions about life and death." - Horn Book
"Starred Review. A smartly crafted intellectual explosion of a romance….Carefully structured dialogue and razor-sharp characters brim with genuine intellect, humor and desire." - Kirkus
"A novel of life and death and the people caught in between, The Fault in our Stars is John Green at his best. You laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more." - Markus Zusak, bestselling and Printz Honor–winning author of The Book Thief
The Fault in Our Stars takes a spin on universal themes—Will I be loved? Will I be remembered? Will I leave a mark on this world?—by dramatically raising the stakes for the characters who are asking." - Jodi Picoult, New York Times–bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper and Sing You Home
