Soon to be a major motion picture starring Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson 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 a few 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?

"Bawled my freaking eyes out and it wasn’t even over the two main characters. God I love these types of “romance” books"

"Love it but sad "

"Words can not describe how much I loved this book. Truly one of my all- time favourites! Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lipincott is a story that everyone needs to read. It is powerful, poignant, and truly captures you with its every word. I don't usually cry when reading books, but this book had me tearing up and the movie had me leaving puddles on the ground! The story of forbidden love has you rooting for the two teens with cystic fibrosis, even though it is deemed impossible. Yet, somehow, even with the distance between them, Stella and Will develop something much more meaningful and impactful. This is a book that anyone can enjoy. Its full of laughs, tears, shaking of heads, and everything far and in between. This is a book that can never be put down, and will be forever remembered as the phenomenal and captivating narrative that it was. Highly recommend. Don't miss out!"

"Why I torture myself in this way, I do not know, but I am all for the tragical romances. This book is good enough to make me cry and all the feels, but it also was a little predictable. I'm used to actively having to guess at the plot and character growth. Me before you by Jojo Moyes was better, but if you're wanting a short read with sob inducing ending, this book is perfect! 3.9/5 (I can't believe I'm saying this, but the movie was better. Slightly.)

"This book was so sad. It felt like one heartbreak after another. It was written well to the point that I felt like the characters pain. It taught me a lot about appreciating what we have. Really good if you want to cry 😭 "
