Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.
***
To say this book was a profound read is such an understatement. It is magic. John Green created such a beautiful, heart wrenching, and raw world. It is easily in my top three favorite books ever. I'm so glad that I dusted it off of my to-read list. I haven't cried so much while reading a book in a very long time.
The story centers around terminally ill Hazel Grace and a boy that she meets named Augustus Waters. Both are extraordinary characters with incredible depth, feeling, and wit. Despite having cancer that has ravaged her body, Hazel is amazing. Just amazing. Throughout the book we see inside of her head, how she grows, and how she becomes her own person. Augustus Waters was my favorite character. He was incredible, and so philosophically beautiful.
I think that when you read something that has such a profound effect on you it's difficult to put into words, so I've had this review sitting in my drafts for a few weeks. I had absolutely no idea how I wanted to write it without giving spoilers. Just trust me when I say that if you haven't read it, you must!
I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars on Goodreads.
