Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott
4.0

 Five Feet Apart" is a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking read that explores the complexities of life, love, and mortality. The story of Stella and Will, two cystic fibrosis patients navigating the challenges of their condition, is both poignant and inspiring.

Lippincott's writing is engaging and emotive, making it easy to become invested in the characters' journeys. The characters themselves are well-developed and relatable, with Stella's determination and Will's creativity making them a compelling pair.

The book tackles tough themes like grief, vulnerability, and the importance of human connection. While there were moments that felt a bit predictable, the overall narrative is impactful and memorable.

Overall, I'd give "Five Feet Apart" 4 out of 5 stars. It's a beautiful and emotional read that will resonate with fans of contemporary YA and anyone looking for a story that will make them feel and think.
