The movie is about a girl named Anna whom’s older sister named Kate that has cancer. Anna has to help Kate to survive her cancer with giving Kate her body parts. BUT Anna whom is a mature girl makes the decision that her parents no loger should do this to her (donating her body parts) because of her right of her own body. So the story goes…

For me this is a good movie that shows that any voice can be heard and that cancer is not only a struggle for the person having it but for other’s as well. This leaves me at a 9/10 for me.

Hazel Grace Lancaster is a 16 year old girl who has cancer and is forced by her parents to attend a support group, there she meets and later falls in love with Augustus Waters. This is their story. 

This movie made me cry a lot but also realise that though the struggle great pleasure and pain comes with it. I give this movie a 10/10, brilliant movie. 

Hope you enjoyed a little light reading, sorry for the texts being so short, it's sometimes hard to write about something so emotional. I dedicate this Movie Weekend to this cancer awareness month <3

Bye for now and hello for later!
