I thought this was an incredible story but that being said, I can't say I enjoyed reading it. Hazel makes an original and interesting heroine and I think Green tackled adolescent cancer with a brutal and refreshing honesty. Hazel and Augustus had a realistic relationship that was quirky and fun to read about but even though I cried through the whole latter part of the book, I never really connected with Augustus as a character. There was just something missing about him I can't really put my finger on.
