DETAIL
Hazel and Augustus both were the special kids as they both were fighting cancer. Hazel always had a box with her that supplies her Oxygen as she got thyroid malignant tumor that moved to lungs .This made her lungs working badly .
On the other hand, the boy was an uprising basketball player but sadly he lost his one leg because of certain type of bone cancer he got. The thing I loved about this guy was he always seemed happy and never let his weakness to dominate over him.He seems to me a example how you can beat suffering.
They both lived with their parents and one day they met each other on a cancer awareness center or I can say seminar etc. They communicate with other members and fell in love with each other. Other members also have many problems and got interesting qualities, you can learn them if you read novel.
That’s how their love went on .Then in novel, there was one thing told about Hazel as she love one of book called imperial affliction written by some DUTCH author and she had the dream to meet him and question him about what happened about other characters of his novel.
