The realistic fiction novel The Fault in our Stars by John Green is about a sixteen year old cancer patient named Hazel Grace. When Hazel meets Augustus Waters at a cancer support group they fall into a loving relationship that is bound to end in heart break because of their illnesses. My favorite part of the novel is when Hazel is in an Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam, and she must push her self to the end of the exhibit without her lungs failing. To those of you who like tragic fiction, I recommend you read this book!
