Hazel and Augustus are two teenagers who meet and fall in love. However, their relationship is not exactly typical considering they met at a cancer support group because both of them suffer from the dreaded disease. Hazel has thyroid cancer which makes it difficult for her to breathe so she must carry an oxygen tank wherever she goes. Augustus was a basketball sensation before he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had to have a leg amputated. They struggle trying to lead a "typical" teenage life. A trip to Amsterdam to meet the author of Hazel's favorite book cements the strong relationship that these two characters establish.
The emotional ending is not exactly a surprise, but the book attempts to end on an upbeat note.
