What I really loved about this book was that even though cancer was the giant overhanging theme, there was so much more to it than that. Teenage love is hard enough without adding a terminal disease onto it.
Normally, I would not be a fan of the non-teenage way that Hazel and Augustus converse with each other, because it just takes it out of a realm of possibility for me.

Although I predicted so much of this novel, I was able to enjoy it. Predictability is beside the point.
