I finished up The Fault In Our Stars by John Green last month on my little girls getaway.  Being the story of kids battling cancer, it put me really far outside of my comfort zone.  But I loved it.  Green tells a beautiful story of cancer, loss and death in a way that made me smile, made my heart ache, got me to giggle, and only at the end cry “the ugly cry”.  I loved it because it is the story of teenagers living their life – every second of every minute of their life – to the fullest.  And that’s what I get up and hope to do on every single day that I’m blessed with another sunrise.  So, would I recommend reading it on a crowded airplane or on the beach at Disney?  Probably not.  But would I recommend reading it?  YES!  You can’t help but walk away feeling grateful to breathe deep and be alive.

Goodreads says:  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.

As always, I’d love to know what’s on YOUR bedside!  Seeing as I spent more than seven hours at the baseball park today for three games, I’m not exactly sure when I’ll fit in reading.  But I want a nice long list for when the moment strikes :-)
