So most teenagers have probably heard of this book, and many have it. Adults like me have even read it. It has become a bestseller, and now it's in the works to be a movie next year with some notable names in it. I can see why this book has achieved popularity though. Green has been building his name for a while in the young adult genre by consistently releasing novels, and teens like them. He does put a voice out there for them that most teens wish they had. And like author's, Lurlene McDaniel, he somehow hits a soft spot that is devastating to read.
Summary: Hazel lives with terminal cancer. She carries an oxygen tank around to help her lungs work, and is attending a cancer support group. Other than that her life is filled with America's Next Top Model reruns and going to college classes three days a week. All Hazel's mom wants is for her to get out a little and live the life she has. After Hazel meets Augustus at the cancer support group she finds just what it seems she needs. Hazel is scared to fall for the guy though considering she doesn't know how long she has to live.
