Synopsis
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.
Rating: 3.5 / 5 Stars
My Review:
It was a slow start getting into this book, but after the part of them being in Amsterdam, that's when it picked up for me. Some of the parts were either confusing or a bit much for me (like discussing the books that they enjoyed - I know that was a main part of the plot, but it didn't appeal to me at all). The dialogue was realistic for sure, as were the depictions of the characters going through the different stages of disease, suffering, survival and mourning. I of course cried during the sentimental parts between Hazel and her parents. Maybe as a mother now reading these types of YA novels will hit me differently than before.
