POINT OF VIEW: The point of view of this book is first person. The main character, Hazel is the one telling the story. She is 16 years old and has lung cancer. She knows that her cancer is not treatable and wants to live life to the fullest. " Late in the winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided I was depressed."(p.1) This shows that hazel uses the word I meaning this story is first person.

Setting: This book takes place in modern day, somewhere in America. The main character Hazel is currently in the hospital because of her cancer. She leaves the hospital on Friday around noon.

I wanted to read this book because I saw it on the bookshelf and I saw other people reading it. This book is about a girl who has cancer. She goes into a support group and meets a boy that she likes.
