Books like We've Been Too Patient by L. D. Green

A poignant young‑adult tale of two teens—Hazel and Augustus—who meet in a cancer support group, and whose unlikely romance forces them to confront love, illness, and the meaning of life.

From Kay Redfield Jamison - an international authority on manic-depressive illness, and one of the few women who are full professors of medicine at American universities - a remarkable personal testimony: the revelation of her own struggle since adolescence with manic-depression, and how it has shaped her life. Vividly, directly, with candor, wit, and simplicity, she takes us into the fascinating and dangerous territory of this form of madness - a world in which one pole can be the alluring dark land ruled by what Byron called the "melancholy star of the imagination," and the other a desert of depression and, all too frequently, death. A moving and exhilarating memoir by a woman whose furious determination to learn the enemy, to use her gifts of intellect to make a difference, led her to become, by the time she was forty, a world authority on manic-depression, and whose work has helped save countless lives.

An analytical companion to John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, it explores character motivations, themes and symbolism, offering discussion questions for deeper engagement.
