Comes the romance that did for cancer what Twilight did for vampires.
Ride along for a touching story about how one girl's cancer led to fun,
sex,
and extravagant European vacations.
But instead of sugarcoating the truth, get ready for two well-rounded characters with
She's a smart young girl who's more than just a cancer survivor:
"Depression's not a side-effect of cancer; it's a side-effect of dying."
"Hey, I just wanted to say that you know there's gonna come a time when all of us are dead."
"You just die in the middle of life."

There, she'll meet fellow survivor Augustus Waters,
a confident, 6 foot 4, well-spoken, adorkable, polite, funny, star-athlete, philosopher-poet

Score her a meeting with its reclusive author,
and exploit a cancer charity to send them on a dream vacation, just to get out of the
"Friends."
"Friends."
Say "OK" to a PG-13 film that glorifies underage drinking,
And making out in the room where Anne Frank was abducted, with no consideration for the

Uhhh, not sure that warrants a slowclap but...
OK?
So cuddle up for a beautiful finale where our star-crossed lovers have a moment of true
before everything goes to hell.
