鈥淚f I鈥檓 going to die, I鈥檇 like to actually live first.鈥�

Can you love someone you can never touch?

In this moving story, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication鈥攖hey can鈥檛 get within five feet of each other without risking their lives.

Seventeen-year-old Stella spends most of her time in the hospital as a cystic fibrosis patient (CF). Her life is full of routines, boundaries, and self-control. All of those get put to the test when she meets Will, an impossibly charming boy who has the same illness. There's an instant flirtation, though restrictions dictate that they must maintain a safe distance between them. As their connection intensifies, so does the temptation to throw the rules out the window and embrace that attraction.

The story is told in alternating perspectives between Stella and Will and both narratives complimented each other really well. At the heart of the novel is a love story.. with happiness and joy and loss and heartbreak in it, a beautiful love story between two people who can't even get close enough to touch one another. The difficulties of having cystic fibrosis add another dimension to the story.

I loved Stella as the main character, she鈥檚 relatable and funny. Will鈥檚 character was of a stereotypical 鈥榬ebel鈥� who needs to break the rules but he鈥檚 actually a total softie on the inside is clich茅d but well written nonetheless. The supporting characters are all good too.

鈥淓veryone in this world is breathing borrowed air.鈥�

There are parts of the story that felt clich茅d like the somewhat clich茅d characters especially Will, the insta-love between the characters, or the slightly predictable ending.

But overall, Five Feet Apart is a fast-paced, emotional, and well-plotted story with some likable characters with some good characters. The story has you hooked the entire time you're reading and a great read if you are in the mood to read a good YA.
