SUMMARY
Hazel Grace Lancaster was a sixteen year-old girl who has been suffering from thyroid cancer for a while now. Due to her cancer she had to carry an oxygen tank with her wherever she went, and at night she would be hooked up onto a ??? .She lives with both of her parents and is a college student. Just like many other cancer patients or former cancer patients she is recommended to attend ???? where she is supposed to talk about her feelings, worries, hopes, ect. Hazel thinks the idea of the ????? is kind of bizarre but she attends anyways because she knows it will make her mom happy. There she has a friend named Izac????. One day when she goes to one of the ?????? she sees Augustus Waters a friend of Izaccs??? . Augustus battled cancer and was now in remission. As for izzac???? he suffers from???? and was due to go in for ??? the problem was that after the surgery he would be blind, and that why he'd asked Augustus to come to ??? because he wanted him to be there for him. During thee ???? Hazel and Augustus clicked, they learned that they were both realistic, they both viewed the world in a bitter but sadly honest way. It was after that that they started to get close. As they got closer Augustus started developing feelings for Hazel and she as well though she rejected them for she thought of herself as a grenade waiting to go off, and she wanted to keep the number of casualties to a minimum, meaning that when she passed away she wanted to hurt the least number of people. As for Augustus, he wanted to be remembered, he wanted to do something being worth remembered. One day when they were together they started talking about their wishes. As the conversation continued Augustus learned that Hazel had on wish that she wanted to come true dearly, and that was to meet the author of "An Imperial Affliction" which was her all time favorite novel. The only problem was that Hazel had already used her ????? on a trip to Disney World with her family. Augustus then offered to use his to meet Peter Van Houten, the author of the book he had become a fan of too because of Hazel's recommendation. Peter lived in Amsterdam, and Hazel didn't have a lot of money because having cancer was expensive, so thats why they needed the ???. Soon it was all planned, they would be going on???? to Amsterdam. Though before they left Hazel got very sick and so ended up in the hospital, they had called it off but then decided to go anyways. So it was settled Hazel's mother, Hazel and Augustus would be going to Amsterdam, where they would meet Peter, thanks to his assistant who helped arrange it all. When they got to Amsterdam Augustus and Hazel went out to dinner and after went back to the hotel where they spent the night. The day after they went to meet Peter. When they finally got the chance to meet Peter Van Houten they were extremely disappointed. Turns out her a drunk, sumbag. Once Hazel and Augustus left Peter's house where the meeting was arranged Hazel burst out crying, she was so disappointed and felt quite guilty for wasting Augustus wish on her. But he told her that he didn't regret coming because to him it wasn't about Peter it was about them. One of the reasons Hazel had wanted to meet Peter was because "An Imperial Affliction" had been kind of a cliff-hanger so she wanted him to answer some of her questions and to know what happened in the end. So when Augustus was trying to comfort Hazel he told her he'd write her an end. soon as they were walking back to their hotel Peters assistant came rushing to them apologizing for Peter's behavior, she also offered to drive them to Anne Frank's hiding place, which they agreed to go to. They were looking around and were touring and Hazel and Augustus were having a great time. They always seemed to bring out the best in one another, they seemed to always put a smile on each others faces. Anyways it was then and there that Hazel caved in, She realized that like he, she too was in love. They ended up kissing. After they went back to the hotel were they had "fun"(think dirty). They would be leaving the day after, so that morning they just walked around but Hazel noticed now more than before that Augustus seemed to always be flinching and while doing so he would have a pained expression. When Hazel asked about it Augustus gave Hazel the answer she'd thought she'd never hear. Augustus Waters had been diagnosed with cancer once again, turns out that before they came while Hazel was in the hospital so was he. When they got back, that when things started to get serious with Augustus disease. As the days went by Augustus got worst. Hazel would try and see him as offten as she could. But eventually Augustus passes away. Afterwards theym had the funeral and Hazel learned that Agustus infact had written her the sequel to An Imperial Affliction
, except when she looked and looked she learned that it wasnt the sequel he had writen it was what he would have said at her funneral.
