Every month, the Her.ie Book Club picks one book for our podcast, Between the Covers. This month, we have chosen John Green’s The Fault In Our Stars.
The story focuses on a teenage girl, Hazel Grace, who has cancer. She spends her days carting around an oxygen tank to help her breathe, watching America’s Next Top Model, imagining what happened to the characters in her favourite novel An Imperial Affliction and trying to keep her parents happy.
One element of that is going to a support group where she meets a boy called Augustus. He’s handsome, witty and most importantly not afraid to say exactly what’s on his mind. The pair quickly develop a close bond although their romance is not without its trials and tribulations.
Have a listen to see what Rebecca, Michelle and Sue made of Green’s best-selling novel which has also been translated for the big screen. Warning, there are more than a couple of spoilers in here if you haven’t read the book yet.
