"Five Feet Apart" is a novel by Rachael Lippincott, published in 2018. The book follows the story of two teenagers, Stella and Will, who are both living with cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disease that affects the lungs and other organs. The disease has forced them to live in a hospital for most of their lives, where they must follow strict guidelines to avoid cross-infection with other CF patients.
Stella is a diligent patient who follows her treatment regimen to the letter, while Will is a rebel who resents his illness and often neglects his treatments. Despite their different attitudes towards CF, the two develop a strong connection and fall in love. However, due to the risk of cross-infection, they must maintain a distance of at least six feet apart at all times, which makes their relationship difficult.
As Stella and Will navigate their complicated feelings for each other, they also face challenges from their illness and the strict rules of the hospital. The novel explores themes of love, loss, and the struggle for independence in the face of chronic illness.
"Five Feet Apart" was inspired by real-life stories of people with CF and their experiences of living with the disease. It was also made into a movie in 2019, starring Haley Lu Richardson as Stella and Cole Sprouse as Will. The book and movie have helped to raise awareness about CF and the challenges faced by those living with the disease.
