Summary The fault in our starsHazel is sixteen years old, she was supposed to die three years ago. She has cancer, but a medicine
saved her life. Hazel didn’t go to school, so her world is very small. her parents are overprotective
and the support group (where people talk about cancer) is terrible.
At one time there was a new boy in the support group, named August. Hazel likes the way he looks at
her. August would come along with his friend Isaac, but Hazel and he have immediately contact and
so August finally stayed at the support group.
August develop a good band with Hazel and they met often in their house. Hazel is very afraid of
hurting people in her surroundings if she would dye and therefore she keeps people a bit away.
Slowly, the two fall in love, but Hazel has much difficulty in it.
The favorite book of Hazel is ' An Imperial Affliction ' by Peter Van Houten, a writer who lives in
Netherlands. The book is about a sick girl. In the middle of the story the book ends. Hazel assumes
that that happens because the girl dies or becomes too ill to write (it is written in diary form), but she
really want to know what's going on with the other characters from the book. August reads the book
also on the advice of Hazel, so he is also curious.
Because Hazel was specified before, she has her wish of the wish Foundation already consumed to a
trip to Disneyland (when she was thirteen and had to die). August has still his wish, so he and Hazel
are going to Amsterdam to meet Peter van Houten.
In Amsterdam there was no escaping: Hazel and August are in love. They experienced a very nice
time together, but the meeting with Peter van Houten was not quite as they had hoped. Peter van
Houten has an alcohol addiction, he told the most inappropriate rulings. Hazel didn’t get the answers
she hoped for.
When Hazel and August were home, August told the cancer was back. August is getting worse and
Hazel sees all of a sudden in that they made a mistake by her relatives on distance. The roles are now
reversed and Hazel would never have wanted that August had kept her distance only because it
would hurt her when he's dead.
During the last phase of August life Hazel spends a lot of time with August. Eventually, at night Hazel
called by the mother of August with the message that August is deceased.
At the funeral of August is Peter van Houten all of a sudden. Hazel is stunned and has no need for
contact. Just as it seems that he still answers to her, then he suddenly behaves strange. During this
contact Hazel finds out that Van Houten has lost a daughter to cancer and that he is probably for that
reason so decrepit.
After the death of August Hazel finds out that August was planning to write an end to the book of
Peter van Houten for her. She searched in his computer, but finds nothing. Later the father of August
calls to tell her that they have found a notebook where the first pages torn out. Hazel is looking for
the book everywhere and eventually writes a letter to van Houten to ask if August has written him.
In the end August did not end the book because he was too sick to write, but he has van Houten
asked for a sequel for Hazel.
