Hazel’s mum is worried she’s depressed, which I would think is pretty understandable in the circumstances, and convinces her to attend a support group to get her out of the house and spending time with people. I still seem to remember something about an actual person but the Author’s Note states that this is a complete work of fiction. Going in I wasn’t sure whether this was true, based on true, inspired by true or complete work of fiction. John Green has written the story of sixteen year old Hazel, who is battling terminal cancer. Someone from outside the book blogging circle told me that I HAD to read it, and I hadn’t heard any bad reviews, so I put in a request from my library and waited patiently for a highly sought after copy to become available. Earlier this year the hype got huge with the approach of the movie adaptation and I remained on the periphery, I heard snippets but still wasn’t sure what it was all about.

The Fault In Our Stars was first released in 2012, and I totally missed it.
