Good book!
I love this book- it’s a good first romance book for the YA genre. I don’t think there are too many swear words or any adult scenes, so it should be fine for kids aged 13/14+

Heartwarming story
I don't even know where to begin with this book! I'm going to keep this review short and sweet; I could ramble on forever about the entire storyline, but it would give away so many damn spoilers, so I'm going to keep it safe instead. I kept seeing the comment 'If you loved The Fault In Our Stars, read this!' being thrown around in regards to this book, and normally I hate those sort of comments. I feel it either raises your expectations of the new book too much, or it comes across as just trying too hard to piggyback the hype from one books success onto another (See the 654872594 books that were advertised as 'If you loved Girl On The Train...'). That being said, the comment actually rang true for this one. I loved TFIOS, as heartbreaking as I found it, and this book had the same effect on me. It was an emotional roller coaster, I found myself so invested in the main characters from the very beginning, rooting for them and their seemingly doomed romance. Stella and Will couldn't be more different if they tried, in the beginning. Stella being a complete control freak, her days dictated by her precious to-do lists and her neatly organised medications. Will wanting nothing more than to ignore his own diagnosis and just get out in the world, away from hospitals and treatments, and explore everything he feels he has been missing. Watching them come together and grow as people was wonderful, it made me wish the book was twice the length it actually was, just so I could read about more of their antics, more of their stolen little moments. The other thing I absolutely love about this book, is the way it was written with such sensitivity. Following the lives of CF patients, it shows that true research went into this story, it wasn't guess work and it wasn't just thrown together. I think it is so important that writers make the effort to do correct research, speak to people suffering from the illnesses or conditions they choose to include in their stories. Double check that they haven't included anything (however unintentionally) offensive or problematic. Chronic illnesses and disabilities can be a minefield for these things, it's just so lovely to see a story done right.

Loved it but disappointed by the ending
I love this book. I was looking for a new book to read and I happen to be a huge the fault in our stars fan. This book apparently had a very similar vibe to it was apparently a great book, and it did not disappoint. I loved everything from the characters to the story to the growth and change in some characters. I was however, slightly disappointed with the ending but apart from that, it was an amazing book.

Gorgeous
There has been a strange trend in YA literature over the past few years that focus on terminal illnesses. This often leaves me feeling confused. Partly because I feel that books and literature should be escapism from life but the greater part of me thinks that without literature people, especially young adults, are not exposed to bigger, more important subjects.Exposure is exactly what the reader will get with Five Feet Apart. It is the story of Stella and Will and their battle with Cystic Fibrosis. It chronicles the daily battle with the life limiting disease and also the isolation that comes with having it. Imagine having something in common with a small set of people but not being able to be close to those people because it could kill you. It must be so lonely.I was quite moved by this story. It was uplifting and heartbreaking and funny all in one go. I was consumed by this story and was bereft when it ended.Five Feet Apart by Rachel Lippincott is available now.

Wow! What a journey!
I saw the film which prompted me to read the book. The characters' depth and complex relationships were wonderfully written. It had everything from laughter to tears. It really gripped my heart.

Good book but..
Came slightly damaged, but honestly it didn’t stop or make it impossible for me to read so I didn’t mind (as it wasn’t major).

heartrending
When choosing this book to read I thought it would be just like every other dying teen book I have read. It isn’t. There are so many themes and stories inside stories within this single story. I don’t want to say too much and give too much of the story away. There are losses and times of happy tears. There is selfishness and a total loss of the same. Cystic fibrosis is a terrible disease. You basically drown in your own mucus and at the same time you have to be careful of anyone, especially another person with CF, getting too close because even a simple cold can kill and bacterial infections can easily kill. 6feet is the recommended distance our main character takes back one foot of that for a chance to finally feel she has a life.I would recommend this book to adults and teens. Some scenes are too intense for many younger kids so parents should read an decide if their child is mature enough to handle those life and death themes.

Essa edição ta marcada no meu coração
The media could not be loaded. Estava maluca atrás da edição com a capa original, queria em português mas não achei em lugar nenhum, até que vi essa e capa COMUM, eu não resisti, estava 60 reais quando comprei, acho que valeu muito a pena. Não veio embalada no plástico de proteção, e as páginas vieram meio sujas, mas nada que não possa ser resolvido, to muito satisfeita. Essa história tem um valor sentimental enorme pra mim desde que vi o filme, ler o livro vai ser incrível.

Mi hija de 14 quedó encantada con el libro en español, su tierna historia... al tiempo quiso releerlo y decidió hacerlo en inglés: le gusta más aún
