Overview ( None/Minor spoilers )
Hazel Grace is seventeen, and has cancer. Through a miracle she is still alive, but when her parents get worried about her mental state they send her to a support group. There she meets Augustus Waters, a cancer survivor. Throughout the book we watch Hazel, and Augustus’s relationship blossom. When something unexpected happens with Augustus, they are forced to except fate.
My Thoughts ( Contains lots of spoilers!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!)
Beautiful is the only word I can use to describe this book. A beautiful story, and beautiful thoughts from the characters. I really enjoy how straight forward Hazel is with excepting that she is probably going to die soon. I also think Hazel having a relationship with Augustus let her realize that even though she might die soon, she isn’t dead yet. I think it’s ironic that Augustus died at the end of the book instead of Hazel because Augustus had big plans for his future, while Hazel didn’t have any plans and already excepted her death. I do think that the author could have gone into Hazel’s feelings more when she was helping care for Augustus. Overall, I believe this book will become a classic.
