In The Fault in our Stars by John Green, Hazel and Augustus meet and fall in love during a cancer support group. The book focuses on being strong and making the most of your life, despite what might happen in the future. The authors purpose is to show that just because you have a disease, doesn't mean you should stop enjoying yourself. I think you should read this book because it was very inspiring to anyone going through a situation where they feel like they should just give up.Hazel Lancaster and Augustus Waters meet during a cancer support group, where Augustus falls in love with Hazel. She has thyroid cancer and tumors in her lungs, but the tumors have gotten smaller thanks to a medication called phalanxifor. She is still terminal but will live a little bit longer than they originally assumed. He tells her he had osteosarcoma in the past and is currently cancer free, but he relapsed and hid it from Hazel so he wouldn't hurt her. Augustus takes Hazel on her dream trip to meet the author of her favorite book, and following their return he is in the hospital because his cancer began hurting him. Hazel then found out what he’d been keeping from her all along. After fighting the cancer for a long time, he dies and she is left with only memories of him.The Fault in our Stars was inspiring because it suggests that you should always keep fighting through a bad situation even if it seems hopeless. Eventually something good might come along and change it, even if it is just for a short time. I think it could be helpful if you’re struggling with a situation and feel lost because it lets the reader know that something great can happen at the most unexpected time. It also suggests that you should enjoy your life and make it the best it can possibly be at that moment because something could happen and it could all be over sooner than you would think. I believe that this book achieves its purpose because Hazel knows she is terminal and that she will die at a young age, but she still goes to support group even if she doesn't want to and hangs out with her friends, regardless of the people who treat her like she is a delicate child because of her disease. The only thing that bothered me about the book was the ending because I would like to know how long Hazel lived after that and what happened to Isaac.I really enjoyed reading The Fault in our Stars, and from the moment I began reading I couldn't put the book down. In my opinion, it was inspirational and helpful to anyone who needed help with their problems, and the author managed to keep it interesting while talking about a sad topic. Some parts of the book were extremely sad, but I the midst of the sad scenes something funny would happen. I think John Green has a special way of writing that appeals to teenagers and makes them want to read. Overall it was a very enjoyable story that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good book to read.
