Synopsis
This book revolves around a teenage girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster who is fighting lung cancer. Always reluctant to go to the support group, it was just her mother’s behest to finally make her attend the group. Who knew chapters of her life were about to be rewritten. While attending the support group, she meets Augustus Waters, who lost his leg due to osteosarcoma. After befriending, what follows is roller coaster of emotions and love.
The author perfectly manages to make the readers be pulled into the character’s lives and feel the emotions, the ups and downs, the motivation, the inspiration and awareness of the effects of harsh cancer. After all the fights against the life, characters still live the moments together happily, being supportive, falling in love and making the most of it even while life was bringing them down.
