The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Hazel is seventeen years old, and diagnosed with terminal cancer. At the recommendation of her physician, she attends a Support Group of other teens also living with cancer. She's pretty depressed and fed up with the group until one evening, Augustus Waters joins the group.

The title comes from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar when Cassius says to Brutus: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

This is a fictional, young adult book and I LOVED it. It was beautiful, sad, funny, and super readable. It's one of my favorites of the year so far.

Thanks, Ryan, for the recommendation!
