ah, yes, ✨the fault in our stars✨... quite literally one of the best books in existence. the book and the movie have won some (and by some, I mean many) awards. I love, love, love this book endlessly and have read it as many times as I've read moon rising (for those of my listeners who have been here a long while, you know ive read moon rising a LOT- and a lot is putting it lightly...), so I decided to review it on the podcast because it's a book that NEEDS to be shared. however, this book also focuses on some topics including death, cancer, loss of a loved one, and (in the book) frequent cussing (though this episode is not explicit). if those are uncomfortable for you to hear, I suggest holding off listening to this episode until you feel ready or listening with someone who understands why you feel uncomfortable listening to these kind of topics for moral support. also, there are some scenes in the book that aren't exactly easy to read- so for my younger listeners, you may want to wait until reading this or have someone who's older than you read it first just to make sure it's "safe."

by the way, some of the segments in this episode took me many, many, many tries to record, so I would greatly appreciate if you listened to it. no pressure, though, if you don't want to listen to me rambling about hazel grace and her splendiferousness (that's not a word, I know, I made it up), then that's completely fine.

oh, and of course, we can't let this be an episode without a question of the day! what is a book you have always wanted to read? for me, this would have to be the divergent trilogy, because I heard that they're great dystopian books! hopefully I can pick it up sometime soon and review it. :)

I don't normally do this, but since I've been loving this song lately, here's a song recommendation of the day- all my love by noah kahan has been stuck in my head for the past couple days... and I love it! if you could take a couple minutes out of your day and tell me what you think of it, that'd be awesome.

have a great day!
