Critical acclaim for The Fault in Our Stars: “Damn near genius . . .
The Fault in Our Stars is a love story, one of the most genuine and moving ones in recent American fiction, but it’s also an existential tragedy of tremendous intelligence and courage and sadness.” —Lev Grossman,

“This is a book that breaks your heart—not by wearing it down, but by making it bigger until it bursts.” —
The Atlantic “Remarkable . . . A pitch-perfect, elegiac comedy.”
—USA Today
