Goodreads Choice Winner, Best Young Adult Fiction of 2019
In this #1 New York Times bestselling novel 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?

Five feet apart deals with two characters who are battling cystic fibrosis and other lung problems and slowly begin to like each other. The plot of the book was smooth and some of the dialouges were well-written and heart touching. The characterization of every main character was simply superb but I liked Stella and Will a lot. The book conveys the theme of CF in a soothing way and other themes like love, loss, friendship, family relationships are also portrayed. The ending could've been better because in such books one expects the climax to be mind blowing or exciting or satisfying. If you don't feel awkward to the language used (because I felt awkward), then it's an easy read.

Another well written, heartbreaking story. Keep your tissues ready. I learned a number of facts about CF from this book. I would like to read about the next chapter in the lives of Will and Stella.
