My favorite book

The 16 year old Hazel Grace Lancaster is forced by her parents to attend a support group for children with cancer. Hazel was diagnosed with stage 4 thyroid cancer when I was 13, but he managed to survive more than expected thanks to an experimental drug. In the support group she meets Augustus 'Gus' Waters, a young man who was a basketball star in his high school, but lost his left leg because of an Osteosarcoma and is now in remission. Hazel convinces read An Imperial Affliction by Peter Van Houten, your favorite book, and develops (although lower than Hazel) to the libro.Gracias messages and calls, their relationship began to deepen more and more an obsession. Gus had saved the desire that the foundation 'The Genies' (the fictional version of the Make-A-Wish) delivery to children with cancer and decides to use it to travel to Holland to Hazel for the lone author of' A Grief Imperial '. She is very happy about the trip, but also decides she does not want her and Gus are 'more than friends', so perhaps minimize the eventual pain that can cause death. Hazel's parents begin to worry a lot when young self compared to a Granada. The comparison is when this thought to the day she dies, many people would end you hurt by his death, which compares to an outbreak of Granada.

"I am like. Como I'm like a Granada, mama. I am a Granada and sometime I'll explode and would like to minimize the victims, right?
