318 pgs/2012Hazel was prepared to die when she was diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer. But thanks to a miracle drug, Hazel is still alive. Going to support group (which she hates) Hazel tends to keep people at a distance. She reads a book that Hazel loves-An Imperial Affliction. All she wants is to know what happens after the ending? She feels the author, Peter Van Houten, is the only other person who understands what it is like for Hazel living with cancer. She wants to write to him and meet him, but Van Houten is a recluse living in Amsterdam.
That is until she meets Augustus Waters at support group. A cancer kid himself, Augustus begins to break down Hazel's walls. Hazel doesn't want to get close to Augustus-she doesn't want to cause Augustus grief because eventually her miracle drug will not work and she will be gone. Is it worth it to open her heart to Augustus? Will she find out what happens at the end of An Imperial Afflicition? I can't say more-so read it for yourself!
