Laidai bija sešpadsmit gadu, un viņa bija gana simpātiska, lai varētu atrasties izskatīgā puiša uzmanības centrā. Viņa bija pastāvīga nācēja - ilgstošā apendiksa vēža remisija. Iepriekš es nemaz nezināju, ka tāds eksistē. Tāpat kā katru otro reizi, kad biju nākusi uz atbalsta grupu, Laida sacīja, ka jūtas stipra, un man tas, sajūtot skābekli smidzinošo caurulīti kutinām nāsis, šķita kā lielīšanās.

Lidai bija sešpadsmit, un viņa bija pietiekami skaista, lai kļūtu par zēnu uzmanības objektu. Viņa bija parasta — ilgā remisijā no apendicīta vēža, par kuru es iepriekš nebiju zinājusi. Viņa teica — katru nākamo reizi, kad apmeklēju atbalsta grupu —, ka viņa jutās spēcīga, kas izskatījās līdzīgu izrādīšanām, kamēr skābekli līstošās nūjiņas kutināja manu degunu.

Lida was sixteen, and pretty enough to be the object of the hot boy’s eye. She was a regular—in a long remission from appendiceal cancer, which I had not previously known existed. She said—as she had every other time I’d attended Support Group—that she felt strong, which felt like bragging to me as the oxygen-drizzling nubs tickled my nostrils.

After a little talk with Kaitlyn Hazel had solved the equation. She now knew that the letter from Gus was at his author's. She wrote to him and got them back. In the letters Gus did not write the sequence for her favourite book as promised. No. Instead he wrote who was Hazel to him. He wrote about her opinions, her humour, her beauty. He wrote how much did he love her and would miss her. This was a love story that will never end and will, at the very end, die with them.

Gus' dad called Hazel telling that he'd found a notebook that was missing some of its pages. That meant that he actually did write something. Hazel even went to the support group looking for the papers but haven't succeeded. Hazel's mum by the way was learning to become a social worker and lead support groups or something.

Hazel and Isaac played a few games during which they remembered Gus. They both missed him so much. Hazel went to Gus' house to look for a story that he'd promised to write to her. She went to his room which was full of his things and still had his scent all over it. Hazel had mixed feelings. She felt like he was almost there but then realised she would never see him again. No letters found.

The funeral of Augustus Waters. There came a lot of people that Hazel has never even heard about all praying for Gus. Hazel did her beautiful speech and suddenly noticed that the author is here. It was surprising but in the same time annoying to see him there. He was trying to talk to her but she refused saying he is no more the man he once was. She felt so lonely and it just hurts to loose someone you so deeply love.

Gus' mum called Hazel to tell about his death. Even though she knew it was coming, she was completely broken. She tried to be strong for him, for the parents, for herself. But all these comments on social media saying: "We miss you. Rest in peace." were making things worse.

Gus called Hazel and he sounded like before. Before he was ill again. He invited her to his pre-funeral. Hazel had a fight with parents because they weren't happy that she was all the time at Augustus'. But she still went to the church. There was also Isaac who read his eulogy. Then there was Hazel: She talked a lot about their love and how unfair is this world.

Gus got home and they gave even stronger painkillers that were torturing his body. All the family was there (also the sisters and their families). It was all so weird like if they were waiting for him to die. Gus wanted to be alone with Hazel but there was not even a slightest chance that they all would leave him alone.

Gus called Hazel in a middle of the night begging her to come and help him with his G-tube. He was at the gas station laying down on the ground puking on himself and asking Hazel not to call an ambulance. She wanted to help herself but was forced to call for help. He was almost unconscious but still asked Hazel to read a poem for him. It was kind of romantic even.

Hazel's family went to visit Gus' parents at dinner. The atmosphere was weird. Gus and Hazel felt like they don't understand their parents time to time. Some time later Gus was put into the hospital due to his condition. Hazel missed him a lot (I am sure he missed her too) but his parents said they want to be with family right now. Obviously Hazel felt like an outcast at that moment.

After coming back from the Amsterdam Hazel was trying not to think or worry about Gus but it wasn't possible. Gus was feeling worse as the time passed. They met Isaac and went to egg the car of his ex. It was fun as long as Isaac couldn't get the target [car].

After telling Hazel's mum about the kiss (the other part she didn't need to know) they stayed together. They went to the hotel again and Hazel was ready to do love. But Gus stopped and told Hazel about remission. He didn't feel like lying but also wanted to go to the Amsterdam with her. Hazel felt sorry and also scared but she understood that at that very moment she should be strong for both of them.

Hazel and Gus came to the author's house. They were both nervous but seeking answers to the questions about the book. When they met him [the author] it was all wrong. He didn't even remember inviting them or sending an e-mail to them. He was honestly rude and rudely honest. They left with no answers and tears. The assistant was sorry for all what happened and suggested they go to the museum. There Hazel had to come over herself and use the steps. She felt like a winner after reaching the top of the building. They kissed there and it all continued at Gus' room.

Hazel and Gus went on a date. It was a beautiful restaurant by the lake. And the author paid for the dinner. They both felt very addicted to each other at some point. Hazel let him take her arm while she was listening to Gus' "truth" about his ex. It was a rough story about a girl who completely lost her mind because of disease. Gus couldn't break up with her out of pity. Their evening ended with Gus telling Hazel that he wouldn't mind if she broke his heart.

Feeling depressed as one of the doctors didn't allow Hazel to go to Amsterdam she looked at her childhood swing set and bursted into tears. Augustus came over and suggested they sold this thing. After some time Hazel received a letter from the author saying where could they go as she comes to visit him. She was very confused as she didn't understand why are they not informed that she is not coming. But parents just wanted to make a surprise and tell her the big news - doctors allowed her to go there!!

Hazel had this kind of a seizure when her lungs are filling with fluid that makes it hard for her to breath. Together with parents she went to the hospital where they stabilised her condition. As she headed home her doctor said that there is no way she could travel now. It made her very sad but eventually she met Gus who told her that after some time as her lungs will get better they will be able to meet her author. He also read an e-mail from the author: Author said that it is interesting indeed to look into their lives. He was wishing Hazel best of health which made her happy.

Isaac on the other hand had an operation and now was NEC. Everyone was congratulating him except himself because he was still going through tough time with his breakup. Gus invited Hazel to the picnic in which he told her that he is giving away his wish for her dream to go to the Amsterdam and met the author. He invited her to go with him and between lines told Hazel that she is his crush.

Hazel and Kaitlyn was trying really hard to make their conversation not awkward but it wasn't easy, especially because Kaitlyn was feeling sorry anytime she talked about death or anything that would hurt Hazel.

Augustus invited Hazel to visit his home, where he lived with his parents. They were different to the Hazel's parents - more jokes, less worries. She liked it there and enjoyed the film with Gus (that's how parents call him). They also shared each other stories about their cancer journeys and Gus even showed her basement full of his Cancer Perks. Heading back home they both felt the sympathy towards each other and Hazel expected Gus to make a move, but he didn't. Gus asked if they can meet on the next day and as Hazel wanted to impress him, she promised to call him when she reads the book he gave her.

A 16-year-old Hazel Grace, who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, had no friends, was studying at home and, obviously, had depression. Her mother and doctor suggested her to try the Support Group. Hazel didn't like the group, but went there so as not to disappoint her parents. Once there came a guy named Augustus Waters, who caught her attention by "being hot" and starring at her. They had a conversation about metaphors, which ended up with him asking her out.
