Hazel, a sixteen-year-old girl, has lived with terminal lung cancer for years, her life revolving around her oxygen tank. She attends a cancer support group where she meets Augustus Waters, an attractive and charming teenager who lost his leg to osteosarcoma but is now in remission.

Their shared love for a book called "An Imperial Affliction" brings them closer together, and they embark on a journey to Amsterdam to meet the reclusive author. As they navigate the complexities of their illnesses and the uncertainty of their futures, their relationship blossoms into a deep and profound love.

However, their happiness is marred by the harsh realities of their illnesses, as both Hazel and Gus face setbacks and hospitalizations. Their dreams of a future together are shattered as Gus' cancer returns and Hazel's condition worsens.

With their limited time, they come to terms with their mortality and find solace in their shared experiences and the impact they have had on each other's lives.

"The Fault in Our Stars" explores the themes of love, loss, mortality, and the power of friendship in the face of adversity. John Green's masterful storytelling captures the raw emotions and complexities of living with a terminal illness, leaving readers with a profound and unforgettable tale of love and resilience.
