(  ) iothemoon | Sep 27, 2023 | Sounds like an amazing book. Update: 7/10, this novel made me go through a rollercoaster of emotions, and I loved every single second of it. The characters weren't really that fleshed out, but they more than compensated for that with the dialogue, I swear, the cheesiness in this book is off the charts! The first half of the book is about Gus and Hazel falling in love instantly, and enjoying their time together, despite the fact that they have cancer, the love interest could have been more developed though. The latter half of the book is where the book ditched the romcom aspect and went full on emotional, I felt bad for Hazel when Gus died of his cancer, but at least he shared his final moments with Hazel together. Eventually Hazel moves on from Gus' death, and that was it, that was a bittersweet ending, but nevertheless, I liked that part as well. If you like romcoms with a touch of sadness, this is the book for you. (  ) Law_Books600 | Sep 19, 2023 | From what I can remember this was my first long book, truly pulled at my heartstrings in so many ways. Still to this day I cry whenever I hear Hazel read her eulogy to Gus. Forever will this book be better than the movie in my experience. ( ) florrrrr12 | Aug 31, 2023 | My 12 year old grand daughter recommended this to me, enthusiastically. VERY! So I had to read it. As I read it, I kept thinking MY 12 year GD read this? Some adult language. Adult situations. What is this young girl doing reading this? What was her mother thinking? So it led me to come to realize most clearly that my young granddaughter has entered a new phase of life, and I've got some catching up to do! I was not enthusiastic about reading a novel about two teens with cancer. But my GD's recommendation swayed me. I grew to love the characters, their quick minds, their use of language, their groundedness. I've made a list of questions to explore with GD when she returns from her summer trip.

 Allison Hunter Hill (VOYA, April 2012 (Vol. 35, No. 1)) Hazel Grace is a sixteen-year-old cancer patient, caught up in the effort it takes to live in a body that everyone knows is running out of time. When she reluctantly agrees to return to her local teen cancer support group to satisfy her mother, the last thing she expects is an encounter with destiny. New to the group, Augustus Waters is handsome, bitingly sarcastic, and in remission. He is also immediately taken with Hazel, and what begins as a casual friendship soon escalates into a full romance. Through an impressive exchange of books and words, philosophies and metaphors, Hazel and Augustus tear apart what it means to be both star-crossed lovers and imminently mortal. While Hazel fixates about how her death will eventually hurt her loved ones, Augustus obsesses about how he will be remembered; the two are drawn together by the justified anxiety they feel over endings. grades 10 to Ages 15 to 18.

I liked it, but I would recommend it only if you're into dramas and/or YA books, otherwise stay clear of this book.
In other words, I don't think it is one of those books that you will like regardless of your taste, just because of its delicate prose or perfect plot development -which it doesn't really have, in my opinion.
It's an easy-to-read , beautiful, and cheesy book that will make you cry. (
