Hazel Grace is 17 years old and has been living with cancer for three years. Even
though she is a girl with an active mind. Her cancer began as thyroid cancer but
spread to her lungs, that´s why she need to breathe oxygen from a tank through
the whole day. She take part in a support group at a church. There she meets a
friend name Isaac and his friend Augustus. After Augustus lost his leg he has
been improved. Then Hazel Hesitates in starting a relationship with him, not
wanting to hurt him. She introduces Augustus to her favorite book, and he makes
a plan, where they will travel to Amsterdam together (using the
"Wish" given to him by a foundation for children with cancer) to meet
the author and find out what happens after the book's end. They are able to
take this trip, but when they arrive to meet the author he is drunk and grumpy.
At the end of the trip, Augustus says to Hazel that his cancer has come back
and is much worse than the previous time. They return home and Hazel stays by
his side until his death. The author attends Augustus's funeral and tries to
apologize to Hazel. She realizes that his book, which is about a young girl
with cancer, was based on his daughter who died. Hazel is dealing with
Augustus's death, and she is cheering up herself with the letter about her that
Augustus sent to the author before his death.
