yah true
first thing i thought hazel would die.




I'm not just saying this because I love Augustus Waters, because actually I don't really care for him at all.

I was kind of hoping that it would end the same way, mid sentence...

That would have been interesting, heartbreaking, and less cliche than the end of the book.





you are absolutely right!!

But I think it is necessary in a sense that Augustus dies because the story is about Hazel and her life which happens to involve cancer. Gus' remission and death helped Hazel to understand how her parents would feel about her own death among other things. And I know this may sound cruel or cliché but it was part of her journey and how her character developed. Augustus' death is essential to the book.
