Bestill My Heart, The Fault in Our Stars

I just finished reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson // John Green and was reminded just how much I love this man (John Green, not Will Grayson). If you’re a book lover than you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you’re not, than you should listen up. The Fault in Our Stars is one of the best books ever written. Ever. Seriously. While it is a YA novel, I promise you that you will get over it. It is beautiful. It is smart, and you will cry. You will remember lines from it and reply them over and over again in your head. And you will love it.

Now that the movie is coming out, I made this assumption that everyone knew about this book. Everyone had read this book. Silly me. I needed to be reminded that I’m a total book nerd, and only total book nerds think everyone else in the universe loves books as much as they do. A co-worker asked me if I had read #TFIOS (yes I just used a hashtag in a sentence, I’m even rolling my eyes) and I had to stop myself from gaping wide-mouthed and bug-eyed…but of course I had! Not only did I own two copies (one signed first edition, thanks to my amazing husband), specially handmade a cover for a gift, used quotes from it at our wedding and have since read all of John Green’s other books…but of course I had heard of it!

I definitely was not the first person to discover this book, nor will I be the last, but it truly is magical. As I said in my Goodreads review back in May 2012, “Devoured in mere days, yet will live with me for years.”

I love you, The Fault in Our Stars.

Oh, and can I also say how much I love this poster designed by Lauren Schroer:
