Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old with thyroid cancer that has spread
to her lungs, attends a cancer patient support group at her mother's behest.
During a support meeting, Hazel meets a 17-year-old teenage boy named Augustus
Waters, whose osteosarcoma caused him to lose his leg. Augustus is at the
meeting to support his friend, Isaac, who is losing his remaining eye to
cancer. The two bond immediately after the meeting and Augustus invites Hazel
to his house where the two strengthen their bond over a movie and their
experiences with cancer. Before departing, the two agree to read each other's
favorite novels. Augustus gives Hazel The Price of Dawn, and Hazel
recommends An Imperial Affliction, a novel written by Peter Van Houten
about a cancer-stricken girl named Anna that parallels Hazel's own experience.
After Augustus finishes reading her book, he is frustrated upon learning that
the novel ends abruptly without a conclusion. Hazel explains the novel's author
had retreated following the novel's publication and has not been heard from
since.
