Hazel (Shailene Woodley) is a teenager with cancer, a fact she's used to push everyone away from her in an attempt to minimize the eventual pain of loss. Then she meets Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort), a smug teen cancer survivor and amputee. It is love at first chemo. (I'm so sorry.)
Look, if you're super into tragic love stories, this is probably great for you. I fucking hated every minute I watched. The whole "cigarette as a metaphor" thing made me want to scream. It's a deeply teenaged navel-gazing exercise in melodrama. That is not my thing. If it's yours, great. Have at it. It's currently streaming on Disney+ right now.
