Admittedly, I’m an obsessive John Green fan, that aside The Fault In Our Stars truly is exceptional. This book made me feel everything. One moment I am laughing out loud, the next crying. There is nothing better than having such real emotional reactions to a story. The characters are dealing with the very ordinary aspects of teen life, as well as the not so ordinary—a life of illness. Themes of our temporariness and what makes a valuable life abound in this beautiful, unique YA novel.

It’s easy to dismiss this as a Bossypants knockoff, but don’t. Yes, it’s a casual and humorous autobiography/advice book, but Kaling is not Tina Fey. Enjoyable for both fans and non-fans of The Office.
