Extremely sad and beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2018)

I read the book 'the fault in our stars' within the span of 2 days in middle school. I Enjoy the overall plot of the story, but I can't stand the fact John Green made it out as a more romantic storyline and that everyone plays it out to be a 'cancer story'. Now sure I will admit, some things are strongly cancer related, and I know most of the main characters have cancer. But I was going in as a person expecting it to be like 'Blue by Joyce Moyer Hostetter' and came out crying as it was more like an ironically more sad version of 'the hunger Games by Suzanne Collins'. Now, honestly, I loved this story, it caused me to feel an overwhelming amount of depression for a couple of days after reading it, and I honestly can say it has changed my life. It's made me respect the beauty of everything around me, so unless you want to change, I doubt you'll like not only this book, but the movie.
I have to (out of respect) remain quite about the sudden death of someone very important, but have to admit the part where she/he said, "I lit up like a Christmas tree" I cried. I've thought the plot of this story more than once over the duration of the past few days (since I've finished it) and I will say, there is no other plausible route for these characters to go other than down. At the beginning they were some-what normal, now their more than just depressed, they are conscious of their insurmountable feelings.
I would suggest this to hopeless romantics, and overall sad and depressed people.
