This book is an amazing love story (romantic enough to satisfy but not inappropriate). You can almost feel their pain and longing for each other. Although it does have obscene language, I read it in 5th grade and I was fine. It broke my heart in the best possible way and I´m not much of a book crier, but I let me tell you, I really CRIED!!! In the end it was well, still heartbreaking!! But it resolved itself to be heartwarming as well. I encourage you and anyone else to read it!!
Five Feet Apart
By Rachael Lippincott
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?

I have not read this but it sound amazing!!
~I think this book looks cool~ From:Resmee
This book was really inspiring. It introduces the hard life that people with CF have to deal with. The characters are really relatable even for people who don’t have CF. This book shows that you can push through anything life throws at you while also telling a beautiful love story. I give it a 10/10.

Omg this book. ok this book is SO GOOD( the movie is good to) it is about two kids with sis tic fibrosis where there lungs fill up with fluid. They are both in a hospital because of this illness. When they fall in love they can only be together if they are five feet apart. If not it could be deadly. Is love worth the risk? you will have to read the book to find out :)
