The Broke and the Bookish hosts this weekly feature every Tuesday. This week the theme is what books to read if you like this super popular book/author. I decided to books to read if you loved The Fault in Our Stars. I could only come up with six for this one so let me know if you can think of any that I left off!
These two books are A LOT different. However, Me and Earl is something a little bit lighter for readers that like the powerful story of TFIOS. Trust me, it will have you laughing out loud.
Both of these books explore the topic of death and grief. They also both have incredible love stories. I know it's probably impossible to believe, but Joe is actually just as swoonworthy as Augustus.
3. Everything, Everything
Although the illness in discussion are both very different, they still explore the subject of death and love. They also deal with family, particularly the main characters parents. Both of the main characters are bonded by having similar interests.
4. Jellicoe Road
This is easily one of the best books I've ever read. Both stories take on the subjects of love, death, grief, and growing up. Jonah Griggs is my all time favorite book boyfriend.
5. Truest
There's no illness here, but Silas actually reminds me a lot of Gus in terms of personality. I think fans of TFIOS will enjoy Sommers beautiful writing.
6. The Truth About Forever
This is much lighter, but Macy still has to deal with the loss of her father. Sarah Dessen definitely has a different style of writing from John Green, but they both are amazing storytellers.

Oh, I'm really curious about Truest and since I liked TFIOS better than anticipated, I'll have to pick that debut up. :)
ReplyDeleteI considered doing TFIOS, too, and the books you chose likely would have been on my list, too. Amazing.

Jellicoe Road is amazing ! Read it for Grade 10 assessment. Truest is also now on my TBR because of Silas and Gus comparison.
