The Fault in Our Stars
Diagnosed with Stage IV
thyroid cancer at 13, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle
shrunk the tumours 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 tumours
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.
