The Fault in our Stars, By: John Green (week 1)
I am only 85 pages into the book The Fault in our Stars by, John Green. The book is about a girl named Hazel who is battling cancer. She has really bad lungs and takes special medicine to stop a tumor from growing and has to carry an oxygen tank at all times. Her mom makes her go to a support group for other kids with cancer. Hazel meets many different people there like a guy that would become blind from a surgery and other people battling cancer. There Hazel also meets and guy names Augustus and they become really close. The relationship becomes unbreakable and they tell each other everything. Hazel feels like she is a bomb to her parents that will die and will be disappointing them at anytime. Since Hazel feels that way she does not want to be Augustus' girlfriend because if they break up it will let her parents down. One night Hazel wakes up screaming because her head hurts really bad and she gets rushed to the emergency room. Augustus waited in the hospital to for days to see if she was okay. I would recommend this book to everyone because it shows the struggle that real people go through. So far I give this book a 10/10.
