Hold on let me wipe these tears streaming down my face. 
 The ending of this book wasn't what I expected, but still nonetheless, made me cry immediately once I finished. 
 For it being almost 2016 and not having read the book (or even seeing the movie), I was going into this blind. Aside from the obvious fact that it was a book about a girl with cancer. That's all I knew beforehand. 
 What a twist. (view spoiler)[ I did not, at all, see Augustus' death being the character who ended up dying from his cancer. That was definitely a surprise twist. (hide spoiler)] 
 Overall, this book was not only sad, but funny at times as well. I love the smartass-like/sarcastic comments Augustus and Hazel had. And Hazel's over-emotional dad was grand. 
 Definitely lives up to all the hype this book has received.
