In this heart-wrenching bestselling novel, perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, two teens find love with one devastating complication—they can’t get within five feet of each other without risking their lives.

Stella Grant is a fighter. She likes to be in control, even though her out-of-control lungs have kept her in and out of hospitals her entire life. For Stella, survival means staying at least six feet away from anyone who could give her an infection and jeopardize her chance at a life-saving lung transplant. Six feet apart—no exceptions.

Will Newman, on the other hand, is tired of being tied to a hospital bed. He doesn’t care about his treatments or the new clinical trial he’s been put on. All he wants is to turn eighteen, unplug from the machines, and see the world. Will is exactly the kind of risk Stella can’t afford, but he’s also the only person who understands her isolation.

As their connection grows, the rules of six feet apart feel more like a cruel punishment. What if they could steal back just a little of the space their broken lungs have taken from them? Would risking a mere foot really be so dangerous if it means not letting their hearts break too?

Five Feet Apart is a poignant story of love, loss, and the lengths we go to for those we care about most.
