I started reading Five Feet Apart based on a recommendation that it would make you sob just as hard as The Fault in our Stars or Me Before You.

It definitely did not disappoint. It was truly a really wonderful YA novel.

This is a lot like Fault in Our Stars and Everything, Everything. I liked this book bc the parents weren’t perfect, which is a more accurate portrayal.

shorter than expected. only took me a couple hours to read. cute and fun story, but overall nothing special.

Honestly I really really loved this book. I mean... like I was nervous about it because I thought it would just be plain annoying cause you know- no touching- and that normally leads to being all weepy. I just thought it would be annoying but I really liked it. A lot.
I mean the ending did kind of surprise me too, I love the way it left it. I mean normally I hate when books do things like that but this one was perfect. It captured the whole meaning of Five Feet Apart and how sick he is and how alive she is. How they’re both living now.
It wasn’t super long and I enjoyed that about this book because adding more story would have made it less good.

But precious Poe. No! But it also I felt like went pretty well because it kind it gave that last little push to Stella before she totally gave up- or didnt. And it was perfect.

Plot was okay but Poe deserved a lot better.

Sweet YA love story. Have your Kleenex ready!

cried on the beach reading this tbh

(Note: There is profanity in this book.)

So this book is about two people, Stella and Will, who have cystic fibrosis. People with cystic fibrosis can't get too close to each other because they could get each other's "germs" if you will. This leaves Stella and Will to stay 6 (or 5) feet apart from each other at all times. Their growing love for each other, and the stresses of having cystic fibrosis kinda sets them off to enjoy their lives in the moment.

This book was kinda slow for me in the beginning. It picked up in the middle or so. There were definitely some very emotional parts in this book. Overall though, I felt that the book was just missing some "mmph" or idk maybe it was just me. I didn't expect the ending at all, and it felt a little fast paced.

I did love the fact that this book spotlighted a very impactful illness that so many people are affected with. I myself have asthma, and I thought I had it bad. I feel more knowledgeable about cystic fibrosis and how it can impact someone with it.
