4.5 STARS! I saw the trailer for the movie before reading this book, meaning that I was picturing Cole Sprouse as Will throughout the entire thing - which definitely helped make it such an addicting read!

This was such a heartwarming and devastating and eye-opening and addicting read all wrapped up into one. I couldn't put it down! Five Feet Apart follows perfectionist Stella and rebel Will, two teens diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), in the hospital at the same time. Both of them have a completely different approach to their condition and their treatment paths, as well as their general outlook on life. They also can't stand within 6 feet of each other because germs bouncing from one CFer to another can be deadly. Not a big deal, considering the two can't stand each other.

But, as the two teens get to know each other, their differences don't matter so much anymore. In fact, they could each learn something from the other. And as they really get to know each other, stepping inside that 6 feet boundary becomes tempting.

Seriously, I will ship Will & Stella forever. I've read other reviews for this book where people complain about the speed at which their relationship moves and some of the rash decisions that are made. But they're teenagers! And they're bored, stuck inside a hospital, separated from their friends and their lives and all the fun, crazy things teenagers should be doing. The fast-paced love and overly dramatic outbursts are part of what make the relationship so magical and so engaging.

I can't wait to watch the film!

Thank you so much to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for providing me with an ARC of Five Feet Apart.
