Book Overview

Also a major motion picture starring Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson
Goodreads Choice Winner, Best Young Adult Fiction of 2019

In this #1 New York Times bestselling novel that's perfect for fans of John Green's The Fault in Our Stars, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication--they can't get within a few feet of each other without risking their lives.

Can you love someone you can never touch?

Stella Grant likes to be in control--even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions.

The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn't care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he'll turn eighteen and then he'll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.

Will's exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella, she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn't feel like safety. It feels like punishment.

What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?

Customer Reviews

This has become one of my favorites

This book touched me in a very personal way. I have an autoimmune disease and this book feels like having someone who actually understands the hardships you go through with an autoimmune disease. I highly recommend it to autoimmune disease patients like myself, I actually donated my copy to my hematologist requesting she give it to a patient similar to me. You really become attached to the characters and in the end you are changed for the better. I also would recommend it to anyone who knows someone who has an autoimmune disease, it can offer some really good tips and insight into their world. Don’t worry I read my copy 5 times before I donated it. Be prepared to read for long periods of time because it’s impossible to put down!
