The novel offers readers a glimpse into the life of cancer patients and how it shapes the way they see themselves and their relationships. Green’s text is not centred on the traditional educational setting of campus life but rather focuses on how these characters obtain higher knowledge of themselves and the world around them through their experiences as a couple which impacts them as individuals. The novel as a whole addresses themes of love, sacrifice, commitment, and education as the two teenagers discover themselves in this coming-of-age novel. Augustus, who also has a history with cancer, is quickly intrigued by Hazel and as their relationship continues to grow he plans a trip to Amsterdam where the two will meet Peter Van Houten, a writer Hazel deeply admires but is revealed to be a complete failure. John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars (2012) speaks from the perspective of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a teenager combating cancer, who meets Augustus Waters at a cancer support group where they become friends and eventually fall in love.
