The Fault In Our Stars

My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations.

......

This is a story about sixteen year old girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster, who  has a thyroid cancer that affected her lungs making her difficult to breathe. Hazel, encouraged by her mother, attends a cancer support group at the heart of Jesus. Together with her co-cancer patients both survivor and on treatment, listen to each and every one's woes and optimism. The same old routine.The same faces. The same lines to deliver. Nothing new. Nothing new. 

She managed to keep things to herself just not to hurt those people around her. Reflecting her life just like the one she read in her favorite book An Imperial Affliction by Peter Van Houten, the author that she would someday like to meet. One things for certain in which Hazel Grace didn't deny nor evade: All that has happened to her, all that she feels is a side effect of dying.

But, would her mind change when one day during her session with her support group, meet a boy like no other? A boy that would make her feel worth it. A boy who has taken an interest in her---Augustus Waters.

A boy who had given her forever within a number of days.

Find out their story. As you get to experience the humor...
 the sadness...
 and the love...
 in this work by John Green .

Shakespeare's play Julius Ceasar (Act 1, Scene 1). The nobleman Cassius says to Brutus,
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, /But in ourselves, that we are underlings."
