Can you love someone you can never touch?

Stella Grant likes to be in control—even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions.



The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.



Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment.



What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?

A heartfelt story. It will shatter your heart. A story that will stay with you.



I did not find out about this book, until I saw a trailer for FIVE FEET APART . I had a feeling that it would end up a book that I would enjoy. Once I started reading FIVE FEET APART I was hooked after couple of pages, and every page had me wondering what would happen, how would Stella and Will make this relationship work? All through the book, I rooted for them but at the same time, I felt as it was impossible. I cannot even imagine being in that situation, not able to touch, be so far apart from someone that you love. My heart broke for both Will and Stella. It was clear how much the two of them cared for each other. What Stella did for Will on his birthday and what Will done for Stella when she had have surgery, and what he done towards the end of the book. That was a big risk.



I heard about Cystic Fibrosis before but I didn’t know much about it. I feel as if I learned more about it, just from reading FIVE FEET APART . It’s scary how much you have to go through and how much people suffer from the disease. I am glad that Will met Stella when he did, if it wasn’t for her, he probably wouldn’t done his treatments and who knows what would happened if he didn’t. I am curious about what happened to Stella and Will after. I am glad that Will convinced Stella to get the new lungs, but I do wonder what will happen to Will. How long will he have? Those are the types of questions that I cannot help but wonder about. There were few slow parts through the book, but in general, it’s a story that you will have hard time putting down. Now that I read the book, I cannot wait to see the movie.



It will play with your emotions. A story that will have you on edge of your seat, from start to the end.
