A review by beatrizdizon_
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

3.5

i tried reading tfios back in the day, but it did not connect with me like i wanted to. maybe because i have not experienced—or acknowledged—love and loss the way i do now. maybe because i have not been loved the way gus loves hazel and how hazel loves gus. i have now, for both of those statements or just one. and it sure is a privilege to feel the weight of love and loss.

(i still think my years of pause in reading is valid tho lmao)
