The story takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States and is told from the viewpoint of sixteen-year-old Hazel Grace Lancaster, an intelligent and sarcastic teen coping with terminal thyroid cancer that has metastasized to her lungs. Believing that Hazel is depressed, her mother urges her to attend a cancer patients' support group at a local church to make friends, a request she reluctantly accepts.
At the support group, Hazel garners the attention of a teenage boy named Augustus Waters, whose unyielding stare frightens yet intrigues her. During the group discussion, Augustus confesses that his greatest fear is "oblivion", an answer which Hazel combats as foolish. The two bond immediately after the meeting, and Augustus invites Hazel to his house.
In Augustus' basement, the two confide their experiences with cancer. Augustus explains his osteosarcoma, which is luckily in remission but has led to the amputation of his leg. Before departing, the two agree to read each other's favorite novels. Hazel recommends to Augustus An Imperial Affliction, a novel that follows a cancer-stricken girl named Anna and parallels Hazel's own philosophies, stresses, and experiences regarding illness.
Augustus finishes reading An Imperial Affliction but is frustrated upon learning that the novel ends mid-sentence. Hazel verifies the cliffhanger ending and explains to Augustus that the novel's mysterious author, Peter Van Houten, had retreated to Amsterdam after the novel's publishing and has not been heard from since nor explained the novel's cryptic halt.
Weeks later, Augustus reveals to Hazel that he has tracked down Van Houten's assistant, Lidewij, and through her has managed to start email correspondence with Van Houten. Hazel writes to Van Houten with questions regarding the novel's ending. Van Houten eventually replies but explains he can only answer Hazel in person and invites Hazel to visit him in Amsterdam where he promises to address her directly.
