Five Feet Apart

Product Information

I went into this story completely blind, I recommend doing so because it definitely gives you all the feels not knowing anything until you read it. pero luego volvía esa eterna lucha entre el arriesgarse y tocarse o, sencillamente, seguir viviendo tiempo prestado. I really liked the characters (the side characters were also great) and even though the ending was corny as all hell, I thought it was a solid read. Sorry guys, I’m mostly sarcastic cow who pulls pranks on people, laughing at people who falls down (I also laugh at myself when my butt hit the floor. A youtuber who reaches out to the rest of the world sharing about the condition and keeping updates as she goes on struggling with the frequent hospital stay and vigorous treatment routine.

I’ve never met someone else with CF -- never had a cup of coffee, grabbed dinner, or hugged someone who knows how brutal that disease can be. Will’s character was of a stereotypical ‘rebel’ who needs to break the rules but he’s actually a total softie on the inside is clichéd but well written nonetheless. I could understand Poe’s fear of a normal relationship, because no matter how much you want to sugarcoat it, in the end his boyfriend would have always had to deal with CF too.Not to mention the insta-love between Will and Stella, which was probably the root cause of all the wrong things in this book. I know Claire Wineland was a great help in the making of this story and I know many CFers are grateful for the representation in media.

stars (best solution is meeting in the middle because this kind of beautiful story doesn’t deserve to get lower points from me but I have to be fair that the script and performances are so much better than the book. Most everyone with CF goes through a period of not wanting to do their treatments but it’s not something I’ve seen talked about before outside of the CF community. As their friendship deepens into something more intense, they face more obstacles than they can handle. Graceling and Daughter of the Forest both come to mind when I think of amazing love stories that develop in spite of the challenges and plot in the story; instead of the love developing because of the plot.Stella the good girl that went through with her regimen and always did what the doctors told her to do, and Will the rebel who didn’t give a damn about his treatments. In this moving story that’s perfect for fans of John Green, Nicola Yoon, David Levithan and Jenny Han, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication - they can’t get within five feet of each other without risking their lives. It’s a beautiful story about love, friendship, hope, fear, despair, anger, weaknesses and responsibility. Both of their situations and feelings towards each other rang true and I loved how I learned so much more about Cystic Fibrosis. 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.

Edit: For the love of God I wrote this review two years ago but some of y'all are still messaging me how dare I say I didn't like the romance.But people die for various reasons and I speak from experience here when I say that everyone has to decide if it’s worth to take that risk or not. However, I’m also aware that an equally large number of CFers have raised concerns over the romantization of CF and the novel’s central topic. So, yeah, it seems CF is finally getting the treatment as an illness to be exploited for feel-good media that cancer has been enduring since the 70s and Segal’s Love Story. Cada día, cada respiro, es una lucha para ambos, pero aún así, en medio de un hospital, logran formar un vínculo tremendamente estrecho y especial. Ambos son terminales, pero mientras Stella se apega fielmente a su tratamiento para subir en la lista de espera de trasplantes de pulmón, Will ha dejado de luchar.

Hell yes, first time at the night time I drank too much coffee when I was reading a book not to be get controlled by my emotional breakdown and probably I’m gonna be awake for entire week, but yes this is memorable and of course is one of the winners of this year. I don't want to give this a rating after not even having read 100 pages but I'm almost 100% sure this would've been a 1 star read.But no matter how much control she tries to take, she can't avoid frequent extended trips to the hospital—and try as she might, she can't protect everyone around her. Because your life is so much more than treatments and hospitals and life expectancies no matter your chronic health condition.
