Soon to be a major motion picture in March 2019!I saw this tweet a few weeks ago, and I was intrigued.
In this moving story that’s perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication—they can’t get within five feet of each other without risking their lives.
Can you love someone you can never touch?
Stella Grant likes to be in control—even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions.
The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.
Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment.
What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?
The cover for #FiveFeetApart by @rchllipp, @MikkiDaughtry, & @TobiasIaconis is here AND it's going to be a movie starring @colesprouse & @haleylufan! 😱🎉— Riveted by Simon Teen (@simonteen) June 14, 2018
Make sure you read the book before you see the movie! https://t.co/doESMNyFqQ
This story must be pretty great for the film adaptation to begin PRIOR to its release.
What can I say? Sick kid stories get me right in the feels, and from what I read in this article, it will be tissue-worthy, but also uplifting.
What are you waiting on?
Let us know in the comments!
Yeah it must be pretty special if they're already adapting it. I don't usually read books will illnesses like this, but I have to say this one does sound really good.
ReplyDeleteI am holding the writer to making it uplifting. I am usually ok with sick kids, as long as they don't die. Is that asking too much?
DeleteThis sounds absolutely amazing! And it will be a movie too!!!
ReplyDeleteI heard about it because of the movie announcement on Twitter, but after reading the synopsis, I determined this was a very "me" book.
DeleteI'm often put off books like these, but it does sound different and if it's going to be a movie I want to read the book first! ;)
ReplyDeleteHere is my 'Can't Wait Wednesday' feature.
Have a lovely day.
Luv Sassy x
Sick kids can be hard, but this one sounds like it will be more uplifting than tragic.
DeleteOooh! Love the cover of this book! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW!

It is very pleasing.
DeleteHERE FOR THIS! Gorgeous cover, story that will get ya in the feels!? Yes please!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely cover, and I hope it delivers the feels.
DeleteThanks for the heads up on a new book and author to me. Great choice today!
ReplyDeleteYeah! I love to put new books together with readers.
DeleteThat covers pretty fantastic too!
ReplyDeleteIt has a feel like a few other covers I have seen this season - Grimm Lovelies? The Deepest Roots?
DeleteOoh pretty cover indeed! That's a new to me one! Hope you enjoy it once you get to read it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
It really is a great cover.
DeleteI like the idea of this one and love that so many more books are being made into movies. It makes me read outside the box.
ReplyDeleteI like to read the books before I see the adaptation, so I hope to get my hands on this early.
DeleteIt should be a good sign that a movie is in the works..plus that cover! Great pick, Sam!
ReplyDeleteI am excited about the casting too
DeleteOoooh!! This one sounds like it is right up my alley!! I hope that we both enjoy it, although from the sounds of it we will need Kleenex. ;)
ReplyDeleteI was just bawling over another book this morning. For some reason, I love doing this to myself.
DeleteWow! It's crazy that the movie is being made before the book is released! It makes me a little more curious about the story. I'm already in love with the cover and adding it to my list! <3
ReplyDeleteL @ Do You Dog-ear?
That's what I was saying, and it's what has me so curious about the book.
DeleteInteresting... but it actually looks like the movie was made first and they adapted the book after but are releasing it first ... smart marketing but unusual!
DeleteThis book has YOU written all over it! It's impressive that the movie wheels got into motion well before release. Sounds like it's going to be a monster hit!
ReplyDeleteIt has all that romance and schmaltz I love.
DeleteHow interesting it's already going to be a movie - I do love Cole Sprouse! This does sound good though. I'll be curious to see what people think.

Casting looks awesome, but then again, since I know very little about the book, I cannot attest to the fit, but I love the Sprouse boys.
DeleteOh my gosh, this one sounds utterly heartbreaking... but also not to be missed. And that cover!!! 😍
ReplyDeleteBut they promise uplifting, and I'll be mad if they don't deliver.
DeleteThis sounds really good and I love the cover.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is beautiful. I can't wait to read the book and see if it has any significance.
DeleteAwww, it definitely sounds like it has the potential to be a tear jerker. Sounds like my kind of book!
ReplyDeleteI got the tissues, so bring it!
DeleteI hadn't heard of this one before but what a perilous and terrible situation be in. Being apart must be such a struggle for them both! Also, I always wonder how books can be set to become movies even when they haven't come out yet??
ReplyDeleteRight? I was surprised to hear there was even casting done and the book releases in Nov. Crazy!
DeleteInteresting! Although the article says the book is actually an adaptation of the movie! Looks the movie was in the works first and they decided to make a book about it... weird!
