The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
I read this before but never blogged about it. We listened to this on a long drive recently. My kids, 14 and 11, liked it but thought it was very sad (which, you know, teens dying from cancer . . .). Hazel Grace has thyroid cancer, and while it's still a terminal diagnosis her new chemo is keeping it in check for now. Hazel meets Augustus at a support group for teens with cancer. His cancer has been in remission for a while, so he's their mostly to support their mutual friend Isaac, who will soon have surgery to remove a tumor, and unfortunately, Gus and Hazel begin a romance, of sorts, and share Hazel's favorite book, An Imperial Affliction. Gus attempts to help Hazel find the answers to her concerns and questions about the book.
