GOOD READS

The Fault in our Stars by John Green. This book changed my life. I read it last summer and since then I've been dying to read it again. The second it was over I wanted to start from the beginning all over again, it was just that good! Have you ever read a book like that? Where you just put it down and are like, "Holy crap life is never going to be the same!" Yup. This book seriously has it all. It's equal parts hilariousness and sadness and holds such a dark humor that I absolutely love.

The story is about two teenagers, who have cancer, who meet at their cancer support group. And you know, of course they fall in love. But it's more than just a love story. For me it taught me how to look at life. Not all of us are going to have cancer but we all are going to have those things that weigh us down in life and make us scared to love other people...and to let other people love us. It's about taking chances and living life and accomplishing things you've always wanted to do. 

Those quotes above are just three out of my millions of favorite quotes from this book. Seriously, this book is just FULL of inspiration it's almost too much to handle. I think that's why I love reading so much. Because you see your own life in the words on a page. Reading makes you feel a little less alone, because hey look! Someone wrote down exactly the thoughts and feelings inside you! Someone else feels that too! It allows you to see your own story pan out before you in a way that you hadn't been able to before. After reading this book, although it's a story that is so unlike my own, I felt like my life made a little more sense.

They're making this book into a movie that comes out in June, and I'm equal parts excited and scared. 'Cause if they ruin this book I will be pretty peeved...just saying. No pressure or anything guys... I just hope they can compute the feelings and humor and sadness of this book in the way I felt it when I read it.

If you haven't read this book, do yourself a favor and read it now!
