The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars, volume one of the Untitled series, follows sixteen-year-old Hazel Grace Lancaster, whose terminal cancer diagnosis has always defined her life. A medical miracle bought her extra years, but she remains acutely aware that her story will end too soon. Reluctantly attending a cancer kid support group, Hazel’s predictable routine shifts when she encounters Augustus Waters, a charismatic survivor with a prosthetic leg and a fearless outlook.

As their bond deepens, Hazel and Augustus navigate first love while confronting the daily realities of illness, family tensions, and the shadow of mortality. This young adult contemporary romance by John Green weaves humor and raw honesty into a narrative about love and romance, living with disease, and processing death, grief, and bereavement. A standout in juvenile fiction, it confronts the big questions of legacy and connection with uncommon wit and heart.
