"Sidst på vinteren i mit 17. år kom min mor frem til, at jeg var deprimeret. Hun baserede sin diagnose på, at jeg næsten aldrig kom ud af huset, lå det meste af tiden i min seng, læste den samme bo igen og igen, spiste meget lidt og brugte ret meget af min tid på at tænke over døden." En flænge i himlen er en roman om alt det største, smukkeste og sværeste i livet. John Greens YA-klassiker handler om Hazel, 16 år og kræftsyg gennem flere år.
