Five Feet Apart (a book review)

‘Can you love someone you can never touch?’ This book is written for the awareness of a disease called ‘cystic fibrosis’ which has no proper cure that can end this disease in a person, but the patients just have to be in control and live a life full of precautions to stay alive for as long as this disease allows them to.
The story is about Stella Grant and Will Neman.

Stella likes to be in control and is so much dedicated to get cured from this disease because she feels like she is the only hope for her parents, their only child. She feels like she needs to do anything that gives them a hope to live and love eachother. She is bossy, caring and has a youtube channel! She has the personality of a perfect bestie.

Will is a completely different person. He has this reckless attitude, because he feels like living life filled with rules and precautions is not something he needs to have. He thinks, no matter what he does, he will die anyway, then why not just live the life to the fullest? And well, he is charming, very romantic and he sketches people.

And then they meet eachother.
And oh! There is another thing! Two cystic fibrosis patient cannot be together or else they die. There should be atleast 6 feet of space between them but the unexpected turn of event is that they both fall in love with eachother.

This book was quite interesting to read because there wasn’t only just romance, but much more things, like, friendships, family and how being a patient of such a disease can be so frustrating for that person. It had many emotional scenes and well descriptive meaningful relationships that is 100% going to make you feel so engrossed in the book.

P. S. I cried few times.
I give it 4.5 stars!
