Whenever I visited Scott in the hospital; be it early on (years prior) or in the last few months of his death there was always one thing that was a constant. Pensé que el saber que una historia entre dos chicos, dos pacientes terminales, iba a acabar mal me iba a salvar de la avalancha de sentimientos del final.

I don't know why but it's kind of offensive how authors always make the guys with the name Will ill or sick. This book immediately grabbed my attention with that gorgeous cover and I knew it was a book that I had to read. Esas últimas páginas, esa montaña rusa de sensaciones y acontecimientos me dejó con muchísimas lágrimas en los ojos. She is also a good friend, and desperate to make her parents happy, and she is all-round a lovable character. I don’t know how accurate Five Feet Apart is, but I do know that sufferers of CF can never touch, must always keep apart, for fear of cross-contamination of viruses or bacteria.

Please just do me a favor and read this amazing story, I can't promise your heart won't heart after, I'm sorry.

I know next to nothing about Cystic Fibrosis and it was so interesting to read about these two kids struggling but coping in different ways. 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.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. This book is torturous and interesting experience because this is the first time I’m reading something based on screenplay.

I always have him pegged as Noah fucking Shaw but I guess we’ll have to share now since he’ll be in this.We don’t see any of the various digestive side affects of CF (apart from issues with a G tube) and we don’t see instances in which CF makes our characters look “ugly” or, well, sick. As their friendship deepens into something more intense, they face more obstacles than they can handle. Don't even get me started with these bidimensional characters (they're more bland than water, trust me). So while I didn't like a number of things (see list below); I cannot deny that Five Feet Apart is well written and has good characterization. When talking about things that irked me the wrong way, I am in debt with Gunnar Esiason and Elsie Tellier for their analyses on the premise of Five Feet Apart, which have educated me a lot on the matter.

Will is more headstrong, determined to live his short life to the full and battling against his mother and the hospital staff regarding his treatments.Now a major motion picture on Netflix starring Cole Sprouse (Riverdale's Jughead) and Haley Lu Richardson (The Edge of Seventeen and Recovery Road)! Knowing that I'd probably cry, I still couldn't stay away from Five Feet Apart, even though the movie adaptation is supposed to be released this weekend, I think. not an emotional impact from a loving story, like i thought, but a new perspective of how often i take my health for granted. It is easy to read, laid out in alternating chapters – changing between Stella’s point of view and Will’s. And his death is used as a prop to make the main character have a sudden, deep realization about her life.
