About this audiobook

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?

Editor's Note

Heartrending…

Living with cystic fibrosis is difficult enough without also falling in love with another CFer — one that you can’t touch. Stella and Will’s heartrending story of trying to live life to the fullest while their lung function deteriorates is for anyone who loves John Green’s “The Fault in Our Stars.” The movie adaptation stars Haley Lu Richardson and Cole Sprouse.

    The reason this one is getting 2 stars is for all the language!!! The F word was all over this book and I really didn't enjoy it. the only reason I read this one was because the movie is coming out in March 2019. This book is based off a screenplay, its made for the big screen so the movie will be better I'm guessing.

    Do not listen to this book at work if:
    You're an ugly crier
    You get addicted to books easily

    Otherwise, listen to/read this book. You will not regret it.

    I got mixed feelings. I craved a happy ending, where they could fight the disease and find complete happiness. But, this is real life. People die and you cant have what you truly want. You can only have the best things of life, in parts. That sucks.

    The terminally ill love story theme of this book reminded me of The Fault in Our Stars. I loved that book so I was drawn in. The play on it being a toxic relationship was just not my cup of tea, but I don't fault it, just because this book is written for young adults and this "love that you would die for" is very normalized and wished for. I love the characters, so over all this book is worth the read.

    Be forewarned that this book takes a bit of time to really get going... and then leaves you hanging at the end... unsatisfied... and like you’ve invested in a story that didn’t give back in the end... the last lines don’t even give you a feeling of what might have happened, as it just ends unexpectedly. Hmmm... I’m not really sure if I even should have given it four stars... in someways maybe, it is more of a three star book.

    I’ve never felt more emotion for 2 people in love with limitations keeping them apart. But also, knowing that no matter what, love will always keep them connected. I’ve felt this before with Lou & Will (Me Before You) and happy I’ve found it again with Stella & Will.

    A respiratory therapist played a big Part in this story and that was refreshing. The medical aspect was fairly accurate. The story was definitely YA abs read like a John Greene book. It was a sweet love story, with some tragedy. I’m interested to hear what cystic fibrosis families thought about it.
