“I told Augustus the broad outline of my miracle: diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer when I was thirteen. (I didn’t tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You’re a woman. Now die.)”

"I strongly suspect you wrote it in this book."
He broke out into that goofy smile. "And you say we don't know each other.”
