Being subjected to mental and emotional pain could also be definition of a type of masochism which I’m doing right now by reading this book and crying like newborn baby. My neighbors tried to cover my mouth with duct tapes, naturally I ripped them. My husband begged me to stop because all the neighborhood’s army of dogs joined me and began howling. Everybody was terrified because of possible upcoming earthquake!Sorry guys, I’m mostly sarcastic cow who pulls pranks on people, laughing at people w...

”Everyone in this world is breathing borrowed air.”I thought long and hard about how to review “Five Feet Apart” and to be entirely honest I still haven’t found an answer... yet. I’m aware that opinions tend to differ when it comes to books like this one and there will always be as many pros as cons. On the one hand I think it’s important to raise awareness for diseases like CF and on the other hand I know that a kind of forbidden love sob story might not be the right way to do so. The more I th...
Yeah no, I'm not doing this. Nope. I don't want to give this a rating after not even having read 100 pages but I'm almost 100% sure this would've been a 1 star read. Oh god, these characters are such obnoxious teenagers. Not as in realistically obnoxious but as in the cliche YA teenager obnoxious.I disliked each of them within the first few sentences of their first chapter. Might be a new record for me. Can't really say much about the plot itself because nothing happened (which is fair, I only r...
Can't say I'm surprised I didn't enjoy this book but it was part of my "Goodreads Reading Challenge" so I did it.Definitely felt like another cliché YA romance with teenagers too sick to be in love and yet...Not my cup of tea!
i went into this book hoping to get TFIOS vibes. im such a sucker for love stories about two people who demand more from life than what they are given. and although this story does touch on that message, that is surprisingly not why i enjoyed this book.if anything, i think the story is actually kind of bland. im not a fan of the writing and i didnt feel connected to the characters. its one of those books where you walk away, knowing its missing something that could have made the story truly grea...
I am always super keen to read books with disability rep! I think YA needs way more disability narratives, and this features two teens with cystic fibrosis. It also has a curious origin story because, from what I understand, it was written off the screen play...so the movie came first?! I would like to see the movie still and could totally imagine Will as Cole Sprouse (Jughead vibes lmao) the whole time.➸The story: It's sad, but like of course it's going to be. And it's really easy to be investe...
“If I’m going to die, I’d like to actually live first.” Can you love someone you can never touch?In this moving story, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication—they can’t get within five feet of each other without risking their lives.Seventeen-year-old Stella spends most of her time in the hospital as a cystic fibrosis patient (CF). Her life is full of routines, boundaries, and self-control. All of those get put to the test when she meets Will, an impossibly charming boy who ha
My thoughts in a nutshell I've read this one in July, and I'm writing this review in September. My satisfaction is still alive. I adored this story so much. I usually enjoy books about disease; this is totally my guilty pleasure.I got close to the characters. I could empathize with them. I like Stella and Will's relationship. It was cute and innocent.The writing style was easy and simple. I flow through it in one sitting.I'm happy because of the ending. It isn't sensationalist, and I'm grateful
I don't normally review books immediately after reading the last page. This gives me an opportunity to think and process what I've read and get my emotions in order. For Five Feet Apart I am breaking that rule as I feel that my emotions are important to why I wasn't a big fan of Rachel Lippincott's teenage romance story. First it's important to know I had a friend with cystic fibrosis...My Brush with Cystic Fibrosis (CF)Almost 20 years ago I lost a friend. I was 16 years old at the time. The las...
