I have found that this genre can offer a rich variety of titles that are worth exploring, even if they aren’t typically what I gravitate towards. While it’s been some time since I’ve delved into the world of Young Adult Fiction, I was drawn to this book by its compelling premise and positive reception. This struggle lies at the heart of Rachael Lippincott’s acclaimed novel, Five Feet Apart, which was named the best Young Adult Fiction book of 2019 by Goodreads. In order to stay alive, they must maintain a strict distance from one another at all times, which is no easy feat when emotions are running high.ĭespite the challenges they face, Stella and Will are drawn to one another, and they must navigate their feelings while still adhering to the strict rules that govern their lives. Unfortunately, his presence in Stella’s life only serves to complicate matters further. As a result, she has developed a strict set of rules to protect herself, including a strict “no closeness” policy that requires everyone to stay at least five feet away from her.Įnter Will Newman, a young man who is desperate to break free from the confines of the hospital and experience the world beyond its walls. Her life is spent bouncing from one hospital to the next, constantly seeking the lung transplant that she so desperately needs. Stella’s struggle with this reality is made all the more difficult by the fact that her entire existence is at the mercy of her lungs. However, as much as we might wish it were possible, the truth is that we cannot have complete control over our lives. In fact, it’s a sentiment that Stella Grant can relate to all too well. Have you ever found yourself yearning for the power to control every aspect of your environment? If so, rest assured that you are not alone in your desire. ****My Review **** Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott
