Plot here.

This is such a sad book. I love it, as it is realistic, and doesn’t fix cancer as soon as they fall in love. It’s very common for something like that to happen, and it’s so annoying and unrealistic.

This book is so poignant, and I rate it 5/5. My non-spoiler feelings are a mess of love and sadness.

YOU ARE NOW ENTERING SPOILER LAND! PLEASE DON’T ENTER IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE BOOK! Happy reading! 

AUGUSTUS! I loved Gus so much! 

I also loved Hazel, maybe a bit more, so Gus’ death was made worse by her pain and sorrow.

I’m really glad that Gus died when it was very nearly the end as opposed to us seeing Hazel’s grief and trying to cope with it. I couldn’t have read through Hazel mourning Gus, as everyone thought that he was the one who would live whilst she died. I think that’s what made his death so effective – she’s slowly dying, whereas he has an 80% chance of living, but he suddenly gets ill and dies. That part was awful and I’m so sad, but it was an amazing book. 

I hated Van Houten, I don’t care that he turned up to the funeral. He was a horrible person and I felt so sorry for Hazel and Gus when they first met him. 

Happy reading!
