Because they give me emotional distress.
After completed them, it take me few days to flush out the feelings.
Because my mind wouldn't stop asking.
If possible I want to re-write the whole story again which end with happy ending.
I love happily ever after.
I really do.... but I read those books anyway.
The exceptionally good one.
Because it reminds me what life is all about.
The ups and downs.
The fortunates and unfortunates.
It makes me realises how people cope when facing difficulties - be it in love life, marriages, health...
"Grief does not change you, it reveals you."
This story is about a 16 year old teenage girl, Hazel Grace Lancaster, a lung cancer survivor.
She met Augustus Waters 17 year old, an osteosarcoma cancer survivor in one of her weekly Support Group meetings.
Their friendship blossom into something beautiful. They embarked into a journey to find the author, Peter Van Houten who wrote their favourite book - An Imperial Affliction, also about a cancer patient who died, just because Hazel wanted to know what happened to the other characters in that book.
Gus, as he fondly called, used his WISH to get both of them (including her mom) to go to Amsterdam for the meeting.
It turns out that Mr Van Houten was not what they imagined of. Instead he was an alcoholic douchebag.
Instead of letting Hazel sulking about it, Gus convinced her that their journey will not be wasted. They are going to create beautiful memories out of it. And it turn out to be their most memorable memories that Hazel will treasure for the rest of her life.
