The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

SPOILER ALERT!
I don’t really understand why this book got so much attention. In my opinion, if the cancer element is taken out of the story, it becomes a very normal story about two very normal white American cis-gender teenagers who fall in love, kiss in Anne Frank’s hiding place -that is so disrespectful, the ultimate white thing one can do- and have sex.
And one of them dies.
Cancer patients deserve all the love in the world, but not this book. The story, to me, is a sympathy grabber.
