Late in the winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided
I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house, spent quite a lot
of time in bed, read the same book over and over, ate infrequently, and devoted
quite a bit of my abundant free time to thinking about death.

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.

I've yet to read this book but I love the excerpt you posted. All the reviews I've read have been great and it's definitely encouraging that it's a reread for you.

My Book Beginnings
Hi Sheri,
ReplyDeleteI think that, along with Elizabeth, I must be one of the last people in the World to read this book, in fact I had never come across it until a couple of weeks ago, when it was featured on another blog. I can't believe that Goodreads has logged nearly 100,000 reviews and ratings for 'The Fault In Our Stars' and it still comes out almost fautless.
I think I agree with his mother about the depression, although without reading the synopsis, the opening words could have pretty much described your average male teenager anywhere in the world!
Thanks for sharing,
Yvonne
