Synopsis
Soon to be a major motion picture in March 2019!
In this moving story that’s perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication—they can’t get within five feet of each other without risking their lives.
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?
Review
I received with thanks an ARC copy of Five Feet Apart from Simon & Schuster UK Children’s and Netgalley.
This is my true and honest review of Five Feet Apart by Rachel Lippincott. This was published on 10th January 2019.
This is the novelisation of the movie by the same name and this does read like a typical teenage romance movie. I read this book quickly and it was okay. I would have liked more and the insta-love was a little fast and felt rushed. All the characters are interesting, but once again I would have liked more. Also not a fan of the ending. But if you are looking for a quick contemporary read then give this ago.
