As hopeless romantics, they’ll do whatever it takes to protect the ones they love. If there’s one character who comes to mind when thinking about a Libra, it’s Libby from Holding Up the Universe, who literally stands in front of her entire school in a purple bikini with a simple message to her fellow classmates: “You are wanted, and you are loved.”

PISCES

Cathy in Fangirl

As the artsy sign of the zodiac family, Pisces are naturally creative and friendly. It reminds us of Cathy in Fangirl, one of our favorite female protagonists for her shameless book-loving and somewhat geeky character that ultimately becomes a part of who she is as a person.

She knows her time is limited, is unapologetically herself, and holds nothing back as she falls in love with Augustus.

I believe that a person can realize himself to the maximum based on how much he knows his body and uses this resource. Only a healthy person can be the most productive. I am interested in new developments and know that in the field of biotechnology has long been the equipment for research of the human body in all areas: from MRI to blood tests and determine the level of radiation. I like the devices of this company, because they are reliable and very high quality, I want to find an institution where you can be diagnosed on this equipment.

The Fault in Our Stars is a clever little book because it normalises a tragic piece of life that is surprisingly underrepresented in fiction. It’s also funny, wise and heart-warming in a sad sort of way.
