The Fault in Our Stars (Re-read)

Book #36 in 2013
 The Fault in Our Stars
by John Green
 "Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten."

October 28th - 1 day - kindle version

Notes:
Read again in one day, half sitting in a coffee shop cafe in Amsterdam, half while sobbing in my hostel bunk and listening to Mumford & Sons and freaking out all our roommates.

I don't know why I decided I wanted to read this book again, it makes me want to punch John Green in the face and then have him wrap me in a blanket and bring me tea until the tears stop (which is never).

But there was something cool about reading it in Amsterdam. And remember how the first time I walked into the Vondelpark, Video Game Books started playing on my shuffle? And remember that time I found Peter van Houten's house?
Amsterdam was a pretty magical place.

Even though also remember that time I got to Amsterdam literally a weEK AFTER THEY FINISHED FILMING THE MOVIE jfc
