After seeing countless reviews of the fault in our stars, I decided to read it to see what was so good about it that everyone seemed to love it. I was really disappointed after reading this book because I didn't enjoy reading it at all.

Having high expectations because of what others had said about the book, I thought I was in for a good read but I didn't find the story interesting at all. The writing style just wasn't for me, and the characters weren't very likeable. I felt like the story jumped from one thing to another really quickly and some bits just didn't make sense to me.

The story is about two people Hazel and Grace who meet at a cancer support group, despite them both being diagnosed with cancer they continue to live their life and fall in love with one another.

The fault in our stars is meant to be an emotional story but it is not that at all, when something emotional did happen in the book- I won’t give spoilers, but it does not make you feel emotion and it just continues as if nothing has happened.

This is a book that I would never pick up again to read, I didn't enjoy reading it and most of the book was just boring, I found it very hard to finish reading this book and will definitely not read it again.
