'The greatest romance story of this decade.' - Entertainment Weekly Lockhart, #1 bestselling author of We Were Liars 'John Green is one of the best writers alive.' -E. I give The Fault in our Stars five stars.A special edition marking the 10th anniversary of global publishing and cultural phenomenon The Fault in Our Stars – the beloved YA classic read by millions. This book crashed into my life, and I let myself fall in love with it, and I let it crack me open. My journey to heal from a toxic religion left me emotionally raw and tender, feeling the things I see and the miniscule moments I live in. It’s 5am so I'm not going to be bothered to copy/paste it here, but it's about falling in love with the world and letting it crack you open. I started reading John's books after a quote from The Anthropocene Reviewed nagged at me for a year straight. To me, this book is the manifestation of that feeling, and evidence that I'm not the only one that knows it. Where will I end up? What parts of me will remain, and which will have died with my body? Will I be everyone? Will I be a specific frequency in an entire universe of consciousness? I've learned that the best answers to these types of questions are not answers - they're feelings. People would ask what was wrong and I would say "nothing" but I would think "Nothing, you're just seeing who I really am for the first time." That bittersweet, love/loss, blue feeling is where I reside and I've learned that I love it here even when it gets difficult to manage.
I'd spent my whole life hiding my feelings, but here they were on display for me and everyone around me. I think I've anyways been sad, but the event left me deeply, deeply sad.
When I was 30 I realized that the church I was raised in was a scam and a cult, which was devastating to me. Then stared at the moon, then got a whopping 2 hours of rest before waking up and feeling like I needed to review this book. I couldn't sleep, so I snuggled my son while he slept. I still cried through every step of the movie anyway. It feels like a sacred document, one that a movie can never do justice for. I came home and couldn't help but watch the movie, infuriated at all the differences in details.
I drove to my next destination in silence, then listened to music and every song seemed to sing for the characters in the book. I finished it at work, fighting through tears for the last 3 hours or so.
