Quote #7
Gus's father: "Our children are weird."
My dad: "Nicely phrased." (15.13-14)
Touché, parents. Touché. It's little touches like this that remind us that these are just normal kids with normal parents. Well, normal and a little weird, of course.
Quote #8
She put her arm around me and squeezed my shoulder. It felt weird. "You know we love you, Hazel, but right now we just need to be a family." (15.20)
Is it wrong of Augustus's mom to shut out Hazel like that? Or is the power of family stronger than the power of teenage love?
Quote #9
I hadn't gotten to know his half sisters, really, but they both hugged me anyway. Julie was sitting on the edge of the bed, talking to a secret Gus in precisely the same voice you would use to tell an infant he was adorable (19.19)
Grief really does bring families together. Do you think Hazel will become close with Augustus's family after his death?
