Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and Gus (Ansel Elgort) meet in a cancer support group. They bond over their irreverent sense of humor and a shared passion for a particular novel.

Both families face tough emotions while coping with the illnesses that affect everyone around them. Yet somehow Hazel and Gus manage to take one day at a time, striving to live rather than waiting to die.

Well done, well acted, well written and true to the novel upon which the movie is based. Sure to be a hit with teens. Might even be a classic in the same way that “Love Story” has become one.  We will definitely see more from Woodley and Elgort.
