This isn’t your basic teenage love story, and you realize that in Chapter One when Hazel meets Augustus at a “kids with cancer” support group. Although their journey is remarkable, what they learn is dwarfed by what we - the readers - learn about cancer patients.
It’s powerful and poignant, a search for answers, a journey to discover “what comes next,” both physically and emotionally.
I love how Green avoids the conventional cliche of rebellious teens who hate their parents. Hazel and Gus love their families, adding a tender current beneath an already moving experience. My favorite read of the year.
