... in which two teenagers meet at a cancer support group and deal with love, pain and loss.
The Fault in Our Stars is narrated from the point of view of Hazel, a 16-year-old girl who is slowly dying from metastatic thyroid cancer. She spends her time attending classes at a local community college and going to a largely useless support group for teenagers with cancer. While reluctantly attending a support group meeting one day, Hazel meets 17-year-old Augustus, a handsome and charming boy who lost a leg to osteosarcoma, which has gone into remission. Hazel and Augustus bond over their shared experiences with cancer, and their shared love of a particular novel. As their relationship progresses, Hazel has to consider the fact that her diagnosis is terminal, despite the fact that her death is coming slowly, and she must decide how this will ultimately affect the way she forms relationships, especially her relationship with Augustus.
