OMG this book was just...beautiful :')If any book deserves to be described as beautiful then it's definitely this one. The story..the dialogues..the ..GAAAA EVERYTHING!

The plot revolves around Hazel Grace who has terminal lung cancer. Her parents make her join a cancer support group where she meets the gorgeous, wonderful Augustus Waters. The book was a beautiful, heart warming read and it's unfortunately very difficult to describe without giving any spoilers away xp

Hazel and Gus had a great sense of humour and wit that lifted your mood and kept your hopes up throughout the book despite it being a book about two teenagers with cancer. I was actually really reluctant to read it because i just thought i wasn't ready for a depressing story that will just make me all empty and broken inside.. and i wasn't 0.0 This book will most certainly make you ball your eyes out and cry but it's also definitely a treasure amongst the world of books and for me it was one of those you-have-to-read-this-book-it's-awesomesauce typish ones ^_^ .  Here's some of my favourite moments:

“Oh, I wouldn't mind, Hazel Grace. It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.” 

“Books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.” 

"Augustus Waters talked so much that he'd interupt you at his own funeral. And he was pretentious: Sweet Jesus Christ, that kid never took a piss without pondering the abundant metaphorical resonances of human waste production. And he was vain: I do not believe I have ever met a more physically attractive person who was more acutely aware of his own physical attractiveness."

“That’s part of what I like about the book in some ways. It portrays death truthfully. You die in the middle of your life, in the middle of a sentence

'It's just that most really good-looking people are stupid, so I exceed expectations.'

'Right, it's primarily his hotness,' I said. 'It can be sort of blinding,' he said. 'It actually did blind our friend Isaac,' I said.'Terrible tragedy, that. But can I help my own deadly beauty?''You cannot.''It is my burden, this beautiful face.''Not to mention your body.''Seriously, don't even get me started on my hot body. You don't want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace's breath away,' he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank.” 

“Whenever you read a cancer booklet or website or whatever, they always list depression among the side effects of cancer. But, in fact, depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying.” 

“You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.” 

"I didn’t tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You’re a woman. Now die."

“You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.” 

As for the ending..which has to be mentioned..well this perfectly explains my emotional journey while reading this book:

and some more tears..

and then some..
