I waited almost two years to read THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. When I realized Iwas part of the 1% that hasn't read the book yet, saw that the movie was in production, and was maliciously assaulted to read the book, I finally picked this one up. My expectations for this one were through the roof, and for the most part, they were met. 
 "As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once." 
 My experience with John Green started with AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINES, which, sadly, I really disliked. Thankfully, this book wasn't anything like that book, and I tend not to hold author grudges. 
 Since almost everyone already knows what this book is about, I'll just tell you what I thought of it in a barely coherent review that includes an unnecessary amount of gifs. 
 "My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations." 
 First: That. Writing. There are some T-Shirt worthy quotes in this book; quotes that make you think and quotes that almost anyone can relate to. I already ordered my "Okay? Okay." shirt from RedBubble and forcing the book on my poor friends using threats and violence. 
 "I do, Augustus. I do." 
 Part of the reason I put it off so long was because I knew it was going to be an emotional ride. However, when I finally did get around to picking it up, I was determined not to cry. 
 Ha. 
 Of course, I just had to be in public at that time, but luckily no one said anything. Or didn't care-it's public transportation, you never know. 
 Although I knew this one wasn't going to have a happy ending exactly, it was not hard to imagine Hazel and Augustus' future together, because they really deserved one. *Cue gross sobbing* 
 I did wonder about all the characters and things after the ending, but I guess we can imagine whatever outcome we want. 
 I am now very anxious to see the movie, because I have always been a more of a crier when it comes to visual things over just reading them. It is needless to say that I highly recommend this book, but don't forget the tissues.
