Elizabeth Esther INSPIRED the book and Hazel... it was not BASED on her. But about Augustus, I'm honestly not sure. I have read This Star Won't Go Out (a memoir for Esther) and no one in the book said anything about Augustus so I'm pretty sure that he was just a character thought up by the genius mind that is John Green, but I could be wrong.
