I am still reading The Fault in Our Stars, and am still really enjoying it. Since the last time I've read, Hazel went to Augustus's house to watch the movie that he had been telling her about, and he gave her a book to start reading. He told Hazel kind of about his life and what happened to him, then asked her what her story was. She started to tell him her "cancer story" and he stopped her and wanted to know her real story, like her hobbies and passions. This made her realize that she really had only been focusing on what the cancer has transformed her into, and was not really thinking about the good things in life. She really likes Augustus, and he likes her and wants to see her again the next day, but she tells him she'll call him when she finishes the book he gave her. She was a little skeptical about the book at first and didn't think she would really enjoy it, but ended up reading it in one night and getting the whole series to read. Being with Augustus Waters has already started to change Hazel for the better and make her think about the beauty of life and not just wallow in her self pity, and think how bad she has it, even though she kind of has good reason to. I think this friendship, and possibly more than that later on, will help Hazel to live life to the fullest and spend as much of it as she has left being happy.
