The best things said about it
I'll give you an example of what I mean and this is quite embarrassing but when I was writing the fault in our stars it's about a girl living with cancer and her favorite author lives in the Netherlands...
Um this was for 2014 of course when everyone was freaking out about John Greens the Fon our star.
It was during that time that I got my hands on a copy of the faults and our stars and I think I read it about half a dozen times.

Why people recommend it
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is an acclaimed young adult novel that follows two teenagers coping with terminal cancer diagnoses who fall in love while navigating the painful realities of mortality. The book has been the subject of deep personal reflection and critical discussion on several podcasts. On People I (Mostly) Admire, host Steve Levitt shared that he first read the novel while his daughters were teens to stay connected with them, and he later revisited it, frequently describing it as one of his absolute favorite books. Levitt discussed the novel with guest Suleika Jaouad, who revealed that she read the story about half a dozen times during her own illness, finding profound comfort and friendship in the two young protagonists. John Green himself appeared on the show to discuss the creative and sometimes embarrassing drafting process behind the narrative, including how he conceptualized the journey of his characters. In other discussions, such as on The Book Review, contributors like MJ Franklin and Alexandra Alter highlighted the novel's massive commercial success, noting its millions of copies in print, its blockbuster film adaptation, and its status as Green's most famous bestselling work. The conversations collectively demonstrated how the novel transcends its genre to offer genuine emotional solace and cultural impact for readers facing severe health struggles.
