I haven't read romance/young-adults genre in years. I was more of The Hunger Games, Divergent and thriller/horror kinda girl. A lot of things/people has led me to read this book (at first it thought it was too mainstream). It was an entirely different experience from the previous romance/girly books I have invested my mind into. I really think its beautiful and well thought. I love how Hazel and Gus is connected with their experiences as cancer patience, the books they read and video games. I always always love for the fact that these two are very smart with words, very perspective and how perfectly imperfect their characters are. Its almost like those of typical teenage love story, with the overflowing (hormonal) feels and teenage love but at the same time different,unique and beautiful. I cried so much towards the end (I mean who doesn't) and I would recommend this to everyone!!!
