Synopsis: Hazel has a terminal form of cancer. She has to drag an oxygen tank everywhere she goes and spends some time at a ridiculous "support group" (that she hates, by the way). Until one day when a handsome stranger shows up to support a mutual friend. Augustus Waters is surprising, different, and interesting--and in love with Hazel. She introduces him to her favorite book, and he introduces her to his. They share their thoughts on life, on the perks of being a cancer kid, and the oblivion beyond this life.
And they travel to Amsterdam together using Augustus' Wish, to meet the author of Hazel's (and later, Augustus') favorite book, hoping that he can answer some questions that remained unresolved at the end of the novel.
But things, when they are perfect, seem unable to last that way for long. Hazel and Augustus are about to experience the most difficult announcement they have ever had to deal with. Is their relationship strong enough to survive? And will it even matter?
My Rating: * * * * *
I know I read a lot. And I know I kind of have a lot of five star ratings. But honestly, if I had one better than five stars, I would rate it higher. I don't actually say this about a lot of the books I read, but this book will change your life. I cried like a baby.
