(DLA Las Piñas HS LRC) March Book of the Month - The Fault in Our Stars

Graduation means transition time. Whether it is a graduation from high school where everyone is going separate ways in a few months time or not, it is a scary time of self-discovery. This month, we're featuring a bestselling YA contemporary cancer love story that you can relate to when you have to take that plunge into a different life and move on. It's basically about two teenagers who meet at a cancer support group for kids.

Why all the hype? Apparently, it's not your typical beautifully tragic love story. While there are countless books on teenagers in love, BOTH of the characters here have terminal cancer. While falling in love can be hard enough, it's even more breathtaking to see two characters lose themselves completely to each other while battling cancer.

If that's not enough, the story itself isn't very lengthy thus you can easily finish it anywhere and the physical copy can actually be carried everywhere without that much difficulty. This gives readers an opportunity to reread it repeatedly too.

What's more is maybe you'll be surprised with how the ending turns out, seeing as how the story began in the first place. Still can't relate? For people not feeling their prettiest, the turns out to be a good read for that boost it gives you. If they still fell in love and found their matches in each other while looking definitely sick (e.g.: carrying an oxygen tank that connects to a nose through a tube called a cannula or losing half a leg), why can't you? In lieu of this, only TFIOS has successfully made being ill a bit more glamorous and well, positive which totally helps if you are especially indeed sick.

If you needed any more reason to feel prettier than you already are... the book helps you become part of the popular crowd because you now know what everyone's been talking about after you read it! We're sure lots of fans can think of more amazing reasons why you should take this book with you on that summer vacation as we can go on and on so make sure you finish before seeing the film.
