Last trimester I read The Fault In Our Stars this book was amazing, but very sad. The voices of the character's were great. They were smart and sarcastic. The narrator of the book was Hazel. Hazel is a girl who is suffering from terminal lung cancer. Because of her lung cancer, Hazel was taken out of school except for a few lecturers every week. Hazel's condition keeps her at home all the time, at home Hazel reads and watches TV. Hazel reads An Imperial Affliction constantly. The book ends in the middle of s sentence and Hazel wants answers from the author Peter Van Houten who now live sin Amsterdam. Her mom forces Hazel to go to a support group, one day while she is at Support Group she meets Augustus Water who changes her life in many different ways.

Hazel gets Augustus addicted to An Imperial Affliction. Augustus believes that kids with cancer shouldn't let the cancer rule their lives, Hazel quickly realizes that is what she has done and tries to change. Hazel gets Augustus addicted to An Imperial Affliction. Hazel and Augustus start out as friends and grow very close. When Augustus has his "wish" left he takes Hazel to Amsterdam with him. On the plane Augustus tells Hazel something big, which changes their relationship to more than friends.
This book is wonderful, but also very sad. A great read!
