Reviews with content warning for Suicidal thoughts - Five Feet Apart

I did not like this book. There is a golden rule, that when book begins with "this is to raise awarness for" you should not get your hopes up. I found the couple very one dimensional, we got the "not like the other girls" with "omg, i got control issuses" and a guy who just does not care and is so edgy. I knew about cs before, so there was nothing new. I might watch movie one day, but that is not very likely. This was just kinda wasted time.
And do not get my started on the treatment of Poe.

Reading notes, I gave up on them after like chapter 10.

Not like the other girls, she's both programmer and youtuber.

Why the fuck is will so gross?

We got the gay immigrant best friend. I'm kind of tired.

It's kinda weird to date someone you follow online.

Will is just a terrible person.

Making dosing tables for people with chronic (or not chronic) illnesses is a terrible idea. You're not a doctor, you're an immature programmer and you don't know what each individual person needs.

Is this love story gonna be based on her not wanting him to die?

Ah yes, I will definitely keep cheering for this male lead, who is so happy that he can just do casual sex and not catch feelings.

I watched the movie before I read the book and I have to admit I prefer the book's ending. Had I never read the book I would say the movie's ending was good.

That being said I already had an idea of what I was getting into while reading the book yet it still surprises me. Stella's survivors guilt throughout the book was something that stood out. It wasn't something that was mentioned and brushed off but instead something that impacted almost every decision Stella made throughout the book.

Another thing I'd like to mention is a spoiler so here it goes. The fact that Stella and Will's way of thinking switched towards the end of the book was well played. Stella no longer wanting the extra time new lungs would give her and Will wanting even more time. It was a nice dynamic that I noticed.
