I was reading another (great) book when my friend Mariann recommended The Fault in Our Stars by John Green about a girl with terminal cancer who falls in love. There's some language, there's lots of sass.
I read the first few pages and I was hooked. Line and sinker.
Jillaire and Mel, have you read this one yet? Put it on your list.
The back cover says The Fault in Our Stars in "Insightful, Bold, Irreverent, and Raw", and yes it is.
The back cover also says, "This is a book that breaks your heart---not by wearing it down, but by making it bigger and bigger until it bursts" which sounds so cliche that I didn't think it was possible. But it is and it was.
And that's my recommendation for TFIOS: It lives up to all the hipe-y, sappy, you'll-think-this-is-great blurbs on the back cover and front flap.
Hard to do, but it does.
Recommended by me? Oh yes.
Okay?
Okay.
