"Okay?
Okay."
These two words have a plethora of meanings hidden in them. For almost all the contemporary readers, these words open up a new world of imagination and meaning.
This is a quote from the book ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ by John Green - A book which never fails to open up a vast space and new meaning of infinity; a different infinity from the one we keep searching our whole life.
This book is the face of the reality of love. In those numbered pages, John Green gave us the taste of pain, love, laugh, tears and many more unknown emotions. Just like the love of Augustus and Hazel; numbered in days yet infinite in their own ways.
This book taught me to face the real world with the power that I had within me all the time.
Romance genre had always given me hopes of a romantic love story and I have had always dreamed of it like a romantic fool. This book became the first on my reading list to make me realise that love is not what we always expect, sometimes we have to accept the unexpected and the love still remains the same. It also taught me that not only the happy ones, but the sad endings could also leave you with a smile on your lips along with the tears in the eyes.
We seldom have control over what or whom we love. Life always presents challenges in front of us, which we face valiantly, but numbered are those who fight for love even though they know that they are going to lose this battle. Their defeats are their victories; and their efforts till last even after knowing the result is the love that the whole world talks about. Tfios taught me that love is something above all the emotions, pure and irrational.
This book is the architect of emotions that I don’t even know existed within me. The words flew through the pages of this book into my heart and inscribed a deep and dark mark onto it. Unexplained and unrecognised, these feelings will stay with me forever. I will never be able to forget this book.
Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters will remain the constant star of this story as well as mine. They not only taught love but also about the different things about life that we all tend to ignore. The metaphors in this book will leave laughing and crying at the same time.
Tfios (The Fault in Our Stars) is an emotion; an unexplained emotion.
