"The Fault In Our Stars" by John Green

Brilliantly written, this poignant story tackles life's harshest realities with unrelenting honesty and just enough humour to have us crying, laughing and crying some more.

Even though a new drug has bought seventeen-year-old Hazel a few extra years she has resigned herself to the fact that she is nearing the end stage with her terminal cancer.  When she walks into her Cancer Kid Support Group and meets the gorgeous new guy Augustus Waters, Hazel's life is about to get a whole lot more exciting.

This is one of those monumental books that once devoured will leave you forever changed.

Favourite quote: "What a slut time is. She screws everybody."
