Review

The Fault in Our Stars is a beautiful novel and I would recommend it to anyone who believes in love and has the courage to fight for it. Through this book, I realized that cancer touches not only the sufferers but also all those who love it,

I can also say that I don’t think I can see a romantic relationship between Augustus and Hazel. I am giving a lot by saying relationship. And honestly? It was one of the most beautiful relationships I have seen develop in a novel.
