Book Review: Five Feet Apart By Rachael Lippincott @rchllipp

 Five Feet Apart

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

📚📚📚📚📚

If I could give this book a higher book rating then I would. This is undoubtedly one of the best books that I have ever read. It is the unforgettable story of  Stella and Will, who both have cystic fibrosis. Stella is on the list for a lung transplant and she likes to be in control of things around her, even if she is not in control of her body. Will, on the other hand, just wants to live his life. What neither of them expected was to fall in love, but the problem is, they are not allowed within six feet of each other.

Oh this book, is is simply brilliant. It will break your heart and leave you reaching for the tissues. This is an exceptional story with extraordinarily characters who I simply adored. This novel, this book, is truly great.

You can find it on Amazon
