In this #1 New York Times bestselling novel 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 a few 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?

Ratings and reviews

Love the story! I am hooked, and can't wait to watch the movie! Casting seems a bit off as it makes the characters sound twice their age, and that can take you out of it a bit... but you get used to it. Glad I purchased this!

Fantastic book that I enjoyed listening to from start to finish. The performances of Joy and Corey were amazing and really made the characters come to life in my head. So glad I found out about this book, and I would heartily recommend it.

I love this story! I cant wait to see the movie it looks so good. I have only seen the trailer. Inreally enjoy it.
