He begins reading An Imperial Affliction, the same dark, heavy novel she has been devouring.

He takes an instant liking to Hazel Grace, whom he calls by both given names. Gus often comes off like an overconfident jock, and he was one until the Big C took one of his legs. It probably doesn't hurt that droll and handsome Gus (Ansel Elgort) has started attending her support group. Hazel laments that a Peter Gabriel song playing in the background won't make her problems go away the way it does in other movies, but Woodley plays Hazel so you never pity her. Thankfully, she has a barbed way of expressing herself that reveals a desire to make something of her short life that even she probably doesn't know that she has. Her chances of living beyond her teens are dim, and all of her mother's (Laura Dern) happy talk only makes the lass feel more glum and alone.įrom this description, Hazel might come off as dreary and morose as her situation. But for her, survival doesn't seem like much of a miracle. Hazel has survived stage four cancer that has spread to her lungs.
