Synopsis Goodreads
Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at
13, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle shrunk the tumors
in her lungs... for now.
Two years post-miracle, sixteen-year-old
Hazel is post-everything else, too; post-high school, post-friends and
post-normalcy. And even though she could live for a long time (whatever that
means), Hazel lives tethered to an oxygen tank, the tumors tenuously kept at
bay with a constant chemical assault.
Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at
cancer kid support group, Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to
her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected destination
and a long-needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how sickness and health,
life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind.
My Thoughts
First off, have tissues nearby, and if you
don't like flat out crying in front of people (I mean sobbing) than read this
in a secure room by yourself. I live in an apartment with three other girls (gotta
love college...boo) and my roommate keep looking at me like I was crazy( they
don’t read, so they don’t understand my pain).
I loved everything about this book, the characters,
and the storyline, how he didn’t beautify cancer. This book was an inspiration,
it was emotional gripping, and will pull at your heart strings. But it's not just a crying fest I laughed a hell of a lot also,because the character's are just witty.
I won’t be going deeper into the storyline
for this review because I fell like any more information, other than what’s provided
in the synopsis will just ruin this AMAZING story for future readers.
Overall, this was a great book. I highly
recommend it!
P.P.S go purchase this book!!

This sounds like a touching read and one that requires lots of tissues. I have to be in the mood for these types of books, since they effect my emotions and I end of getting depressed. I will save this tittle for when the mood strikes!
