at Pen to Paper Blog where we will post about one

entirely up to you), that we can't wait to get off the wish-list and onto our
wonderful shelves.

Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 13,
Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle shrunk the tumours in
her lungs... for now.
Two years post-miracle, sixteen-year-old Hazel is post-everything else, too; post-high school, post-friends and post-normalcy. And even though she could live for a long time (whatever that means), Hazel lives tethered to an oxygen tank, the tumours tenuously kept at bay with a constant chemical assault.
Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at cancer kid support group, Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected destination and a long-needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind.

I don’t think I need to talk about this book. Everybody and
their brother have read it and I’m pretty sure I’m one of very few who hasn’t.
I’m not usually a contemporary reader but I haven’t heard one bad thing about
this book. I have read one other John Green book and really enjoyed it so I’m hoping
if I ever get my hands on this one that I will enjoy it.
Have you read this
book? What are your thoughts on it?
TFiOS was a great read, I really liked it. My Favorite is Will Grayson but this one was a good one as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd you really need to start on VA!!!
Thanks for stopping by, happy reading!
I haven't read Will Grayson (although I own it too!). I think I will have a VA month so I can try and catch up! haha
DeleteI've had this sitting on my shelf for the longest time! But have yet to read it. PS: I enjoyed Will Grayson though :) I was pretty good!. I have looking for alaska sitting unread as well. Thanks for stopping by My WW!

PS. You may want to turn off CAPTCHA, and moderate comments instead. It's frustrating for commenters.
I honestly didn't even know I had the CAPTCHA turned on. I don't like doing it either. haha. I will definitely be turning that off.
