Lately I have been reading an awesome book called The Fault In Our Stars. I must say I really enjoy reading this book. So far it is about a girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster with lung cancer (that probably wont be getting any better and eventually the cancer will be the cause of her death)who is very depressed and unhappy with her current life. Her doctor said that going to a support group is a good way to help you get through cancer and subside the depression. When she goes to the support group she meets a boy named Augustus Waters and his friend Issac. Issac has eye cancer and he is about to lose his sense of sight. Augustus is at the support group on behalf of Issac's request but has in fact been a victim of cancer himself, he lost a leg.
After the support group meeting, Augustus and Hazel begin to talk and over time she ends up going over to his house to watch a movie about Natalie Portman. Of course she meets his parents and gets to know them and Augustus better. She really likes him already. She has always loved this one book that shes read over and over named Imperial Affliction. It is about a girl in her same position and (spoiler alert) she dies at the end of the book. She says that she had special connections with that book, that that book understood her. She shared the book with Augustus and he loved it. The only problem that they had with the book is the ending. It was completely unresolved and that bothered Augustus. Later, Hazel wakes up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in her head. Her parents rush her off to intensive care and when she awakens a few days later she is informed about how her lungs were flooded.
