This book was so good I read it all in one sitting. FFA was a really special book for me because it is about two teenagers battling a disease in an important organ. I myself am also fighting one called Ulcerative Colitis, it isn’t terminal like the one Stella and Will battle but it does come with a lot of pain, meds and hospital stays. While I have an autoimmune disease that attacks my colon, Stella and Will have Cystic Fibrosis, a hereditary disease that attacks the lungs. One of the things that comes along with CF is not being able to be within 6 feet of another CF fighter. When Stella and Will meet they find each other unbearable but eventually begin to like each other, the only problem is the 6 foot rule.

Warning: Spoilers ahead!!

I LOVED reading this book, it was sweet, cute and made my heart all warm inside (Which is good cause its so cold outside!!) . The character I could relate to the most is Stella because I am so regimented with my routine, especially when it comes to treatments and meds, and could see where her thinking was coming from. The part of the book that broke my heart the most was when Poe died. I definitely cried at that part, it was so unexpected and Stella had already lost so much. I knew CF patients are terminal but I still wasn’t expecting Poe to die. To be Honest I kinda thought Stella wasn’t going to make it, but she did and that made me very happy. My favorite part of the book was when Will and Stella ran away, everything about their little adventure was adorable and my heart melted when Will saved Stella. I loved so many other parts too but this review is getting long!
Overall I Loved this book so much, I really hope more authors will write books like these because there are so many people battling diseases every day and we don’t get much representation in YA, it really helps us all to see that we are not alone.
