Book Summary:
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?
My Review:
Five Feet Apart is a breathtaking read about an deadly illness. It was also an educational read. You get to hear the journey of the main characters have to make and grow over time in book.
Stella Grant, I really liked her in the book. She tries her best getting her disease in control and stay a live for her family sake. When a chance encounter with Will Newman, will she be able to keep things under control? Love how she has a YouTube blog to keep other people positive about their disease.
Will Newman, I enjoy him in the book. He already accepted that he was going to die and just want to live his life. When Stella comes along, can she help him live longer?
This book was a quick read. Love the point of view told by the main characters. I’m looking forward to the movie of to come out next year. It’s about living life to the fullest even if it’s on borrow time.
Here the trailer for movie:
Happy Reading!!
