JOHN GREEN, the acclaimed author of Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars, returns with a story of shattering, unflinching clarity in this brilliant novel of love, resilience, and the power of lifelong friendship. Aza Holmes never intended to pursue the disappearance of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Pickett’s son Davis. Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton’s type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact. On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight, Judge Judy–loving best friend riding shotgun—but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl. Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.

Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more (Francois Rabelais, poet).

The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself.

(From novella introduction) Dearest Reader, This is a bad zombie apocalypse novella. It was written in a hurry. It is riddled with inconsistencies. And it never quite arrives at whatever point it sought to make. But remember: The $25 you donated to charity in exchange for this steaming mess of prose will help our species shuffle along, and I hope you’ll feel warmed by your good deed as you read. Thank you for decreasing the overall worldwide level of suck, and as they say in my hometown: Don’t forget to be awesome. Best wishes!

John Green, the #1 bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed and a passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world’s deadliest disease. Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, John Green met Henry, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone while traveling with Partners in Health. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal and dynamic advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, treatable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing 1.5 million people every year. In Everything is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

- Влюбен съм в теб – изрече той тихо. - Огъстъс. - Вярно е – каза той. Беше приковал поглед в мен и аз виждах бръчиците в ъгълчетата на очите му. – Влюбен съм в теб и нямам навика да се лишавам от простото удовоствие да говоря каквото мисля. Влюбен съм в теб и знам, че любовта е като вик сред пустошта, че забравата тегне над всеки от нас, че всички сме обречени и един ден трудът ни ще стане на прах, знам също, че слънцето ще погълне единствената земя, която имаме, и знам, че съм влюбен в теб. Когато е само на 13 години, Хейзъл вече е приела съдбата си и знае, че не й остава много време. Една година по-късно експериментално лекарство й подарява още няколко години живот. На 16 тя вече гледа на себе си като на „професионално боледуваща” и е преминала отвъд всичко – училището, приятелите, нормалността. Докато един ден в групата за взаимопомощ, която посещава, не среща Огъстъс. Той е интелигентен, привлекателен и забавен. Двамата обсъждат книги, слушат музика, гледат филми и се влюбват. Да бъде с него, е едновременно неочакван подарък и необходимо пътешествие за Хейзъл, подтикващо я да преразгледа как болестта и здравето, живота и смъртта определят нея самата и следите, които всеки остава след себе си... А те, както казва Гас, често се оказват белези. Дързък, проницателен и суров, „Вината в нашите звезди” е най-амбициозният и сърцераздирателен проект на популярния американски писател до момента, брилянтно изследващ смешното и трагичното в това да си влюбен и на крачка от смъртта.
