Five Feet Apart

Rachael Lippincott

Stella and Will are two teenagers with cystic fibrosis who meet in the hospital and fall for each other, even though their condition means they must stay at least six feet apart to avoid deadly cross-infection. As they sneak closer together, they have to weigh the risk of physical closeness against the pull of their growing feelings. The novel explores chronic illness, mortality, and what it means to choose how you live when your time may be limited.
