I'll admit to finding The Fault In Our Stars a bit too sickly sweet at times but when it scores, it scores very well. Hazel and Gus are heavily influenced by a book about a character who goes through the same experience as them except that the novel ends abruptly and this is a source of irritation for the both of them. Their parents try their best to be supportive whilst at the same time giving them space but they find this balance difficult at times. Hazel is more insular and reserved and is probably caused by the isolation forced upon her by the ongoing treatment. Gus is full of himself but not in an arrogant way, I thought it more of an inner confidence. ![]() Others who think you are better off not knowing what you are missing might see it less positively.Ī story about 2 teens (Hazel and Gus) who meet at a cancer support group might not immediately seem like something you would want to watch but it is funny at times and very positive in the main.

Any film that can force me to shed a tear gets extra marks and The Fault In Our Stars qualifies in this regard. ![]() 6/6/2023 0 Comments The club series lauren rowe![]() ![]() Finally a doctor comes out to say Sarah will be fine and can go home the next day.
