The Fault in our Stars by John Green

This amazing book by John Green, The Fault in our Stars follows Hazel, a 16 year old girl with stage 4 Thyroid cancer in her lungs.  She lives thanks to the drug Phalanxifor.  

Hazel's mother, believes Hazel is depressed and therefore sends her to a Support Group.  One day, as Hazel enters the church where the Support Group is held, she bumps into Augustus Waters, and their relationship blooms from there.  From little get-togethers to flying to Amsterdam together, they have the time of their lives; And yet, the fault in their stars will not allow them to be together.  

A wonderful read, I would recommend this book to anyone above the age of nine.  Full of romance, comedy and many, many metaphors,  this book will hook you in from the very first page until the very last line and will leave you with numerous things to think about.
