Final Summary

I finally finished the Fault in Our Stars and it was such a good book, but very sad overall. A summary of the rest of the book would go something like this...  Hazel and Augustus go to Amsterdam together and have a ton of adventures. A month after returning from Amsterdam, Hazel goes over to his house and she tells him that she wants him to write an obituary for her. They spend a lot of time together after that and Augustus' dad tells her that he's thankful for her. Hazel's parents tell her that she can't keep spending this much time with him, even though she has very limited time. She goes to Literal Heart of Jesus and Augustus tells her that he is preparing himself from death. Hazel gives her eulogy and talks about how she's glad she and Augustus got to have infinities.

In the middle of the night she gets a call that he is dead. Her parents try to comfort her but nothing helps. She goes to his funeral and kisses his cheek as he lays in the coffin. When she gets home, she goes to the bathroom and locks herself in there. Her dad tells her that it was a privilege to have known him and he tries to make the whole situation suck less. She goes to Augustus' house and lays in his bed and it smells like him. After she goes home, she makes her mom promise that they will have a life after she's gone and not to always worry about her so much. She sends emails to the writer of the book she loved and asks him if Augustus ever sent him anything. He emails her back with four attachments about the ending of A Imperial Affliction Augustus ended for her. He wrote, "In life, you don't get to choose whether or not you get hurt, but you do get to choose what hurts you." So, in the end Augustus is happy with his choices and Hazel is too.

I really enjoyed this book even though it ended with Hazel being alone and not with Augustus, it kept my interest and I definitely would recommend it.
