Despite the tumor-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.

Summary from: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11870085-the-fault-in-our-stars

"The Fault In Our Stars" written by John Green is a heart aching story that will succeed in ripping your heart right out of your chest in a time most least expected. All the characters in the book were given their own individual personality which really made you love them and get close to them, which is essential if the author's purpose was to make the reader grieve, which it probably was John Green's plan all along (which is evident if you have ever read any of his other books). The way the story was carried out and the timing of everything was absolutely perfect in a heart wrenching sort of way, if that makes any sense to you. I suggest this book to everyone, whether you like a sob story or not. It is real worth your time. The characters are all really love-able even though they have their little habits that might annoy specific readers, but you would eventually learn to ignore those tiny flaws. The reader learns to love most of the characters without even noticing it, which is a really sneaky thing to do on John Green's part. The tragedies that take place in the story will act like cancer (read the book, you'll understand how clever that was) you will not think there is anything really seriously wrong, but then it just hits you and the next thing you know your in your room crying for four hours straight not knowing if you will ever recover from your grief. So basically "The Fault In Our Stars" is a really good book and everyone should read it. I am not going to be giving a rating for this specific book because I am too conflicted on whether I loved it or hated it, but if I were to give it based on the characters, plot, and literature, I would give it 4.5/5.

Because this review is kind of late, I am going to post another review on Saturday and another on Sunday.
