Stella and Will are like opposites, so I found it interesting to read both of their perspectives. I did feel like the plot was a bit tired, but it works, and I still enjoyed the story. The moments Will and Stella share are touching, and I felt for them since their situation is so difficult. I enjoyed how the book is both informative and entertaining, and how there are many uplifting moments even though it focuses on illness. If Stella and Will get too close to each other, Stella could lose her shot at new lungs. This book tells the story of two cystic fibrosis patients who fall in love, however they must stay six feet away from each other at all times. Review: Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ❃ I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

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? But suddenly six feet doesn’t feel like safety.

The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. 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. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. 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. 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. Can you love someone you can never touch?
