I have trust issues with authors
- me reading: this character is going to die. isn't he.
- the author:
- me reading: I can't care about this character. I can't care about him as much as I want to because he's going to die
- the author:
- me reading: I can tell you're writing him like he's going to die, author
- the author:
- me reading: I'm not falling for this.
- the author:
- me reading: oh maybe he's not going to die.

I’m sure we all knew this already, but I just figured I’d remind you.

JOHN. JOHN GREEN, PLEASE. DON’T DO THIS TO ME. I’M BEGGING YOU. DON’T DO THIS. JUST DON’T.
IF THIS BOOK CONTINUES IN THE DIRECTION IN WHICH I THINK IT IS HEADING, I WILL NEVER RECOVER. I WILL BE A BIG BUNDLE OF EMOTIONS THAT I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PROPERLY HANDLE AND WILL JUST DISSOLVE INTO A PUDDLE OF FEEEEEELINGS.
I AM ALREADY TRYING NOT TO SOB AND I AM ON PAGE 90 AND JUST HOLY FUCK I CAN’T OH GOD. I REALLY HOPE THAT I’M COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY WRONG ABOUT WHAT I THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE IF I’M RIGHT, IT WILL BE BOTH A BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN AND HORRIFICALLY HEART-WRENCHING STORY (which we all know it is no matter what happens, but I mean that if my predictions are correct, John Green will have ripped out my heart with such eloquence that I won’t even be able to hate him for it) AND I JUST CAN’T.
And I mean, obviously I can’t even tell any of you what’s happening or what I think is going to happen because I am a good little non-spoiler-telling Nerdfighter and will do my best to keep these things as vague as possible but oh my god the urge to flip to the back of the book and read the last chapter is almost irresistible but I have to try to fight it because I can’t ruin this for myself, even if it is going to leave me sobbing for the next several days at the very least.
‘Course, I could be entirely wrong and find that I just have a completely horrible thought process and that things will not end the way I think they will, which would be GREAT (although disturbing on my end, because the shit I come up with in my head is really probably very unhealthy).
But I could also be right, or close, in which case I’m going to have a mental breakdown from all the beautiful sadness. Just. I am filled with such dread right now but I also just can’t stop reading.
LOOK WHAT I GOT!!!
I am ridiculously excited.
Mom: “So you’ll have it finished by tomorrow morning?”
Me: “Is that even a question?”
GUYS.
WHEN I WAKE UP TOMORROW, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS WILL BE HERE OR BETTER BE BECAUSE IF IT’S NOT I’LL CRY UNTIL IT IS.
The contraption was necessary because my lungs sucked at being lungs.

JOHN GREEN JUST SAID “DEAD SEXY” IN REFERENCE TO A BOY’S VOICE FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL.
WHAT. EVENN.
No offense to John, John’s publisher, or the person who designed the cover.
I think that the cover is a bit too plain. John showed a whole bunch of wonderful fake covers and I thought that they were great, so this is a bit of a disappointment.
So I was just scrolling through the the Nerdfighters tag, and I must say, there are a lot of people who are disappointed with the cover. But, like, here’s the thing: yes, Nerdfighters submitted covers and whatnot and they were amazing. But we haven’t read the book. We don’t know what’s in it. John put his hard work into it and if he feels this is the best cover for it, then this is the best piece of artwork to represent the story.
You know what will be kind of awesome?
Not me failing my midterm because I’m procrastinating. That will be terrible.
When some unsuspecting person picks up The Fault in Our Stars at their bookstore, just to take a look at what it is, and opens it up to find that the first page was signed by John. I wonder how they’ll react? I mean, if I had never heard of him, or Nerdfighteria, and then I just picked up the book and found it signed… I’d be so confused, but so delighted. I’d want to find out why on earth I had a signed copy of the book.
ALSO. What if one of these people gets a Hanklerfish? Or a Yeti? How awesome would that be? This is totally going to make new Nerdfighters, too. How exciting! :)
Unless they get the copy that has both a Hanklerfish and a Yeti. Because then I’d be really, really jealous of them.
