2. Date Night: The Fault In Our Stars
“I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”
Based on the sixth novel by author John Green, The Fault In Our Stars is narrated by a sixteen-year-old cancer patient named Hazel, who is forced by her parents to attend a support group, where she subsequently meets and falls in love with the seventeen-year-old Augustus Waters, an ex-basketball player and amputee.
Hazel and Gus are two extraordinary teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them — and us – on an unforgettable journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that they met and fell in love at a cancer support group. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, based upon the number-one bestselling novel by John Green, explores the funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love.
“The Fault in Our Stars” achieves that rare feat of eliciting as many cheers as tears.” – Washington Post
