Hazel Grace is a fighter, she has been living with cancer for over 3 years. She keeps fighting the battle with the help of her mom and dad at her side. She doesn't let anyone in until she is forced to go to a Support Group with other kids who are sick just like her, that's where she meets Augustus Waters, a survivor of bone cancer with only one leg, and only 17.

Augustus and Hazel start hanging out almost immediately and their relationship is filled with up's and down's thanks to her sickness. However, the couple finally solidify when Augustus uses his wish on Hazel, taking her to meet the author that wrote her favorite book. It's on this trip that new things are found out and that they are in the end fighting together.

**Definitely Contains Spoilers**

I have to say that this book was good although a bit predictable in parts. The first thing that I thought was overly predictable was how they talked about Van Hauten's book ending so abruptly. I could tell that this one was going to end the same way. It was foreshadowed enough in the book to make it aware. I also predicted that Gus' cancer was going to come back. It's unfortunate that it happened but they knew that they were both going to die and had a beautiful relationship together.

Overall, I would say that this book is acceptable to all ages, young and old. I really enjoyed this book and actually want to read more by Green as this was my first book by him. I have Looking for Alaska on the Kindle so that might get moved up in the ranks.
