Review
I have to admit it. I only picked up this book because I saw the film trailer; my copy even has 'now a major motion picture' printed on the front. From the title, I was kind of expecting The Fault in our Stars take two. All I'll say about that though is, do not pass on this one if you disliked TFIOS. The only similarity between the two is the cancer.
Even then, Rachel's leukaemia takes a back seat. This story isn't about some big, meaningful, life lesson. It's just a story about ordinary characters dealing with cancer – the way real life people deal with real life cancer. There's absolutely no romanticisation of cancer here.
