Now a major motion picture starring Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson!
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?

"So... The Hard cover's paper slip cover is really odd. When you touch it, it leaves finger prints from the oils in your skin making contact with the type of paper or ink the cover has, but they're removable by rubbing a cloth in a circular motion over them so that's good! In all absolute honesty. I've read so many reviews on this book about how it will "send a negitive message to children with cystic Fibrosis to risk death for love" but as a 18 year old senior in highschool with Cystic Fibrosis, I can tell you I didn't not get that "negitive message" at all. When I read this book, it reminded me that I don't have to live everyday day-by-day I can have a life. If I stay healthy, I can a better life than I could have imagined. I reminded me the importance of family and to treat the subject of my Cystic Fibrosis and inevitable death (although everyones death is inevitable) carefully. That I effect more people than I think and that they worry about my Cystic Fibrosis and loosing me more than I fear it myself sometimes. I reminded me that I am worth of love, I am worthy of my family, I am worthy of my friends, and I am worth of a full, healthy(ish) life. I HIGHLY recommend this book to all teenagers, and young adults. I did cry ALOT during this book and it did stir up many emotions, but in the end, they were emotions that needed to be a little stired and retouched. I love this book and I couldn't recommend it more than I do â¤ï¸
(Also added pictures of book without cover for my fellow book worms who like the authenticity of a fresh plain backed book, love you guys!)"

Five Feet Apart Rachael Lippincott Mikki Daughtry Tobias Iaconis Books Reviews
- A novel about teenagers with Cystic Fibrosis? When I was a teenager in the fifties, there was Ellen, a girl in my school who had “something wrong with her lungsâ€. I remember her coughing, sometimes breathing noisily and sitting on the bench when the rest of us had PE. I remember the adults whispering “So sad†and “She’ll die youngâ€. We stayed away. Maybe death was infectious. Ellen died soon after I graduated. That’s when I found out that it was cystic fibrosis that killed her.
Now 60 years later I read about Stella, Will and Poe, normal teenagers, except there is nothing normal about their lives. They are in a hospital struggling to stay alive. The center of the novel is a love story. Stella and Will fall in love for the first time in their lives and grapple with the fact that it can be fatally dangerous to touch each other. But it’s also a story about friendship and it’s these friendships that are deeply moving the friendship between Stella and Poe, who have spent months and months of their lives in adjoining hospital rooms, between Stella and her friends Mya and Camilla, who come to plan for their senior trip, which Stella won’t be able to attend, between Will and his friends Jason and Hope, who get an hour of private time in Will’s hospital room, and finally between Poe and his friend and lover Michael, who Poe pushes away because he doesn’t want him to get hurt. These friendships are special because they have nothing to do with pitying a person with a fatal disease. They are friends because they are important to each other. I love the kids and their story and I hope that there never will be another Ellen, who is an outsider because people are afraid that she’ll die on them. - I have a child with CF, and I bought this book because of all the hype that I was hearing regarding it. Yes there are some things they stretch regarding CF but I believe it just highlights and raises awareness for this horrible disease that we so need. Worth the read, and my 17 yr old son with CF enjoyed it also. (My son is waiting for a double lung and possibly heart transplant, this is a very scary time in his life, this book helped him feel not so alone, CFers can not “hang out†with each other so it makes for a very lonely disease)

2.5 STARS
When I was a teenager, I would have lopped up FIVE FEET APART written by Rachel Lippincott from a screenplay of a movie of the same name premiering March 2019. I loved stories about sick and dying people, no matter how sappy or unrealistic.
FIVE FEET APART adds a new twist on sick-lit by adding the very real scenario that two cystic fibrosis patients cannot be within six feet of each other, for risk of life threatening cross-contamination.
As as adult, having survived cancer (so far) and being more cynical, I still enjoy sick-lit IF done well including
1. Respect for the illness-realistic portrayal of the illness and side effects (no miracle cures, no using the illness conveniently and forgetting about it when it’s inconvenient to the plot)
2. Respect for real sufferers of the illness-characters are more than their illnesses even if the illness occupies a large part of their lives
3. Realistic treatments and prognoses
4. Realistic medical procedures (I’m okay with fictionalized treatments/meds as long as they have a basis in reality).
Although predictable, FIVE FEET APART did all four relatively well, from my perspective of not having the illness. Sufferers may feel differently. Since the screenplay preceded the novel, character development outside CF was lacking. Lippincott gave each character a trait or two and ran with it Stella organized rule-follower, Poe gay POC, Will artistic rebel. To be fair, CF can be a lifeconsuming illness.
FIVE FEET APART, at times felt like tropeapalooza.
Instalove check
Pivotal Argument check
Obligatory Death check
Martyrdom check
To be fair, kids dealing with life threatening illnesses live with different timetables than those who don’t. Instalove on a hospital ward between two almost adults dealing with the same illness is more forgivable than in other settings, however the story spans over only a few weeks which feels more like instalove on steroids.
I’d be most interested in how teenage CF sufferers felt about the book. They’re main characters in so few books, writers owe them a lot of realism and excellent storytelling. FIVE FEET APART is one of those books I’d have loved as a teen, then reread in my twenties and wondered why I ever liked it. - So... The Hard cover's paper slip cover is really odd. When you touch it, it leaves finger prints from the oils in your skin making contact with the type of paper or ink the cover has, but they're removable by rubbing a cloth in a circular motion over them so that's good!
