The fault in our stars (Penguin Books)

I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once. Despite the tumour-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis.

But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel`s story is about to be completely rewritten. Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars brilliantly explores the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

Praise for The Fault in Our Stars: `A touching, often fiercely funny novel` - Sunday Times (Culture) `So good I think it should be compulsory reading for everyone!` - The Sun on Sunday (Fabulous Magazine) `John Green brilliantly captures the voices of a young generation while instilling it with the wisdom of a life that has lived too much yet will never live enough` - Daily Express `The love affair of two terminally ill teenagers could be mawkish.

In fact, it`s funny, clever, irreverent and life-affirming.` - The Metro - 2013 Best Fiction `So good!` - Grazia `As funny as it is heartbreaking... We defy you not to fall in love with its main characters, Hazel and Augustus.` - Good Housekeeping `A humourous and poignant love story...

It`s terrifically funny... As well as a moving exploration of loss and grief. And no, it`s so much not just for teenage cancer sufferers... It`s for everyone.
