I loved this book.

It captured first love, heartbreak and was just perfect for a read that also taught me about the hardships of CF. It really shone a light onto the many risks and lives people live.

Stella and Will are two Cystic Fibrosis patients and are forbidden from doing a lot of things. For example, according to the rules,they  have to maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet between them .However,Stella refuses to let her disease take control over every aspect of her life so she takes back a feet: meaning she keeps a distance of five feet from Will even though they both want no distance between them.

It's a tale of forbidden love and not letting your disease control you, especially a deadly disease such as CF.

I enjoyed reading it and look forward to seeing the movie.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC!

I was entertained while reading this, but I didn’t feel as engaged/attached as I would have wanted to! I am really curious about the movie though :)

Stella and Will both suffer from cystic fibrosis and they meet in a local hospital where the rules are that patients suffering from this disease need to keep the distance of 6 feet between each other otherwise they can easily catch infection and die. Stella wants to live very badly, she believes that her parents' happiness depends on her. Will has lost his hope a long time ago and he would rather live normal life even if it means that it's going to be a short one. But Stella has a great impact on people surrounding her and soon she also gets to Will, too. 
It's a book about forbidden love, about the loss of loved ones and not being able to do things that people normally do without any restraints (like touching or hugging). I laughed and cired throughout the whole book and it stayed with me for a quite a long time (major book hangover!). I haven't read such a moving and witty book in a while. I loved every bit of it (maybe apart from the rather open ending). The book is strictly based on the screenplay so if you can't wait to see the movie on 22nd of March 2019 go to the nearest bookshop and grab your copy!
