Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott

3.0

First off, love love love the cover art! And I enjoyed Cystic Fibrosis having some light being shed on it. However the story itself was a bit predictable and I felt the characters weren't really realistic. One of the main issues I had was doctors and therapists telling clients about other clients: why they were there, what was wrong with them, and this, to me, was a big "YAH NO!"Stella, I connected with her when it came to her sister, but other than that, I felt she was very polar on being too controlling of not only her own treatment but other's, or, on the other side, she was just being careless. Will's growth I had enjoyed to a point, there was no grit to his growth, it was just a steady incline since the beginning of the book to the point where when something came up, I expected him to act rationally and responsibly which is what I got, I was hoping he'd fight it for a bit.
