Publisher's Summary

Soon to be a major motion picture in March 2019!

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 five 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 18, 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?

Five feet apart

If there was a type of crying for every emotion I think that would describe me throughout this story. Amazingly read by the readers, I was able to feel everything through them as if I were in their footsteps.

Love this book!!!

I love this book! It’s a great read/listen! It’s great for anyone who loves a romantic cheesy story. Also love the sass that the author and readers for Stella and Will’s character puts into it. Wish there was a sequel to it, I wanna continue on Stella and Will’s story!

I really enjoyed this book. Super easy listen, narrators were pretty good, and the characters were lovable.

Story was okay, narrations were awful.

The story was good. It’s exactly what one would expect from a YA novel but not something to be blown away buy. The narration on the other hand was painfully bad.

Meh

I was stoked for this release so maybe my expectations were set too high, but I found the story just alright. The worst was the narrator when she was reading others. Stella's voice was fine but the others were almost forcefully nasally and robotic. It was awkward and hard to listen to. pulled me out of the story.
