Heartwarming and heartbreaking. The author really did his research which made this book really good. The writer was able to link the subjects back to the story so well. Definitely recommend.

Trigger warning: illness, death and mental health are discussed a lot

The book was good. I liked the character and behaviour of Augustus Waters. He is  one of my favourite characters who was stable throughout the book. The other characters who I loved were Hazels parents and Issac.
