As I stated on my personal blog, Don’t Ask Liv, reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green has been quite the experience for me—and not for reasons that are altogether associated with the book. Last week, I posted “Dear Brutus,”, which explains why The Fault in Our Stars is difficult for me. I’m … Continue reading Lifetime Reading List: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
