Have you ever looked at the stars and thought about someone? Here is the beautiful love story and incredible book of John Green that now is adapted in a movie that can be found at Disney plus as “the fallout in our stars”

Fallout in our Stars is a book that opens your eyes to what the life of a person with one of the worst diseases someone could have, cancer, is really like. It is a very realistic book with several events in Hazel's life that make us doubt if it is really worth living a limited life, being afraid to do or say things or if it is better to live life to the fullest having several anecdotes to tell. I really liked this book because it taught me that you shouldn't be afraid when doing things because later you can regret it and be left wondering what would have happened or because you never know when your last day of life will be. 

In the book, Hazel is a girl of 16 years old that's fighting with cancer, so her mom decides to take her into a support group where one of her friends called Patrick, who was the leader of this group and also Isaac, was someone that she got to know there. Over there she got to know a lot of people with cancer, ones that were almost cured and the others… Well, they were trying too hard to live in that room. But there was one guy she was very interested in, his name was Augustus, he was 17 years old and he had osteosarcoma, and he was in that group only because Issac told him too. 

Hazel loves books and she is a girl that prefers reading poetry than writing it so her favourite author is Peter Van Houten’s and she was dreaming to get to know him so she was willing to fly to Amsterdam and get to know him. It was very complicated to succeed on this trip but she succeeded and she went with both of her favourite persons, her mom and her “friend” Augustus. I really like that because of this trip, Augustus and Hazel get to know more each other and also how Augustus was willing to protect Hazel in all of the circumstances, for example we was a man that smokes a lot but after he get to know hazel and fall in love in her, he stopped for making her more comfortable and also to protect her lungs. 

Finally, all that I can say is that reading this book was a wonderful experience as I experienced a lot of emotions such as happiness, sadness, madness, confusion, and some others, So it was really fun to read it. And also if you want to watch the movie, i will recommend you to first read the book as the movie may be not the same as the book with all the details and drama but it's also good.
