Five Feet Apart

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 ❤️ (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!)

Absolutely beautiful story..! I loved it i cried happy tears and sad tears. I loved every moment of reading this book. The good the bad and ugly parts of the illness. I hope that one day there will be a cure for this illness. It makes you wonder what it’s like to fight to live.

It will keep you engaged, make sure you have a box of tissues near you because this book to break you heart💞 heart the way it broke mine as I am writing I am sobbing. Truly beautiful and heartbreaking.

Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott, published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers tells the story of Stella and Will. Stella has admitted herself into the hospital she’s been treated in most of her life. She has cystic fibrosis and now she has a fever and sore throat that has landed her in the hospital again. The staff and other CF patients know her well but she meets a new patient, Will. Eight months ago, Will found out that he has a fatal illness to go along with the CF he already has and he’s in the hospital for a drug trial. He’s tired of being trapped in hospitals and just wants to enjoy life. Will seems to not care about getting better while Stella is compulsive about her strict medical routine. The more I read, the more the story revealed about Stella’s and Will’s lives and their families. The daily CF routines are difficult and time-consuming and if there’s no improvement, the patient struggles to see any benefit. Full of loyalty and friendship, Five Feet Apart lets us see deeper into the difficulties of having cystic fibrosis and the tragedy of young people knowing nothing else but medical treatments and a short life span hovering in their futures. Heartbreaking, hopeful and inspiring all at the same time, 4 stars!

I saw the movie the day it came out and I literally came home and ordered the book. It took me a little longer than I’d have liked to read it, but it’s not a terribly long book, so it wasn’t too hard to binge the last third in like two hours. But yeah, I really liked this book. It ripped my heart to shreds and dropped my heart into a deep, terrible abyss of sadness and tears, but it was still beautiful. My only real complaint is that there are some parts of the book that are poorly written. Well, actually most of the book is pretty poorly written. I caught a number of sentences where it looked like the authors didn’t exactly know how to even format a sentence with the correct structure, which honestly kinda made me mad (major grammar nerd that I am), but overall I still really liked it. The story pretty much stayed 100% true to the movie, with a few extra scenes tossed in. But in the end, I’m glad I read it because sometimes you just want those beautifully heartbreaking scenes in ink, on paper, tucked away on your bookshelf for you to pull out anytime you wanna remember a beautiful story. ❤️ In conclusion, you should go buy it right now or go see the movie cause they’re basically the same. But either way, go let yourself get swept away in Stella and Will’s story because while it’s definitely a mood story...it’s also a beautifully, painful story that not only spreads the word about cystic fibrosis, but makes you realize just how powerful every moment – and every inch – is.

My son had cystic fibrosus so this is so cckise to home 5 +lose to home a good read

Another book for the young ladies that focuses on two teenagers who cannot have a physical romance as they both have cystic fibrosis. It will make you cry. Not the same as the movie. Both are good but the book is always better. The book does have photos from the movie.

When choosing this book to read I thought it would be just like every other dying teen book I have read. It isn’t. There are so many themes and stories inside stories within this single story. I don’t want to say too much and give too much of the story away. There are losses and times of happy tears. There is selfishness and a total loss of the same. Cystic fibrosis is a terrible disease. You basically drown in your own mucus and at the same time you have to be careful of anyone, especially another person with CF, getting too close because even a simple cold can kill and bacterial infections can easily kill. 6feet is the recommended distance our main character takes back one foot of that for a chance to finally feel she has a life. I would recommend this book to adults and teens. Some scenes are too intense for many younger kids so parents should read an decide if their child is mature enough to handle those life and death themes.
