Five Feet Apart
by Rachael Lippincott
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Young Love Stars
So this never would have come up on my radar if I hadn't seen a trailer for the new movie coming out.
This could have been the new TFIOS (The Fault in Our Stars) but it just fell short of that, not to say that it wasn't a fab read, but it didn't hit me as hard.
This is the story of Stella Grant, she has Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and has been struggling with the illness since she was born, she is currently in hospital, where all of the staff know her, considering she is in there so often.
Everything is sterile, and also in the right place, Stella is a little OCD with things, probably because that is the only thing that she can control.
Will however is not so OCD, he arrives on the CF ward and is not in control, he doesn't take his meds when he is supposed to and doesn't really take into consideration how ill he really is, especially as he has B. cepacia along with his CF (This rare disease could be fatal to someone with CF, just a simple touch can infect them)
Therefore the rules are, no touching, and you must be AT LEAST 6 feet apart!
So why does the book have the title of 5 feet you ask?
Well, this is a YA book after all, these guys take risks for love!
A few things did nag at me, I won't spoil them here but if you read the book you will probably see them too, however it didn't sway me from reading the book, and i will certainly be looking out for the movie and see what they do with it.
