Gus begins the story as something of a manic pixie dream boy, relying on his cocksure charm to win Hazel over and help her see the joy in life. As a three-dimensional human, rather than a saintly cancer survivor or kick-ass warrior, Hazel follows in the footsteps of characters from the likes of Judy Blume and Laurie Halse Anderson, and is just as important to young adult lit as Katniss or Tris. This is important not only because it means treating teenager characters with respect, but also because girls deserve to see all different versions of themselves reflected in literature. Green has told readers he wanted to establish Hazel as very much a teenager: "More generally she is still human and developing emotionally at the standard human rate, and not at some wildly increased rate of development that's only available to you if you have incurable cancer or whatever." (The most glaring example of this is when she Facebook stalks Gus' dead ex-girlfriend). She loves to read and philosophize (not always correctly), but also loves reality television, and can be moody and insecure. Sixteen-year-old Hazel is remarkably clever, thoughtful and conscientious. Hazel is a different kind of strong female protagonist. Get the tissues ready and enjoy, Nerdfighters! 1. In honor of the film's release, we've compiled some of the most important ways TFIOS' take on young love defies convention. Comparisons to other teen-geared romances like Twilight have been inevitable (as well as some controversy surrounding Green's incredible star power), but TFIOS has some decidedly more progressive lessons about life, love and family to impart on fans. TFIOS, as fans call it, is an earnest, funny and heartbreaking tale that leaves you bereft yet hopeful in the way that only the best love stories can.Īs with any wildly popular addition to the young adult cannon, TFIOS' messages matter. John Green's YA blockbuster about a brief romance between two cancer-stricken teens has clearly touched the hearts and tear-ducts of millions - and with good reason. It has been viewed more than 20 million times. This is unsurprising: The film's trailer is the most "liked" video on YouTube with 300,000 upvotes.
