They travel to Amsterdam together to meet Hazel's favourite author and eventually fall in love.But life has other plans for them... Review: The thing I love about this book is that unlike most books you dont get a miracle in the end. Even though it breaks the readers hearts, it teaches us what real life is like, where miracles are unconventional. Love doesnt always win, it cant beat certain things such as cancer which is what this book potrays. Even though they loved each other, they were separated.
