Long preview of John Green's cancer novel--The Fault in Our Stars--great voice-
https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Fault_in_Our_Stars/UzqVUdEtLDwC?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA3&printsec=frontcover
I didn't finish reading the preview,bc I started writing my own cancer novel in my head. Happens a lot.
So far found 2 rom com Amazon frevee movies, one osteosarcoma, one colon cancer.
I don't really think anyone with terminal cancer can run around having a romance--but it makes a good story.
Kate Hundson's hair looks greasy and un-washed, uncombed.
So I have to go write, sorry.
