About this deal

Learning that this book is already being made into a movie I just had to watch the trailer and I know that it is a movie that I am definitely putting on my list of movies to watch. The story might be considered to be a little bit corny or cliche for some but for me I totally fell for it and devoured it in two sittings. All the characters except for Poe (and they kill him off) are: a) very archetypical, and b) completely bidimensional. I'm going to let these thoughts steep and possibly come back and update this, but my gut reaction upon finishing this is an icky feeling.

I’m aware that opinions tend to differ when it comes to books like this one and there will always be as many pros as cons. So while I didn't like a number of things (see list below); I cannot deny that Five Feet Apart is well written and has good characterization.Poco a poco, Stella y Will irán entablando una peligrosa e inevitable amistad, pues a pesar de tener que estar separados siempre por dos metros, a veces hay que robarle momentos a una vida que, inevitablemente, se va haciendo cada vez más corta. 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.

I decided for my bf and knew he probably wouldn’t live all too long (he’s my ex-bf now and still alive and well! Surely Stella’s sister had to die in a freaky accident while she was out living her life to the fullest unlike her terminally ill sister. Now this isn't just because I'm not a big crier; it's also because I just don't understand the point of a story when the primary reason is to make you cry.A youtuber who reaches out to the rest of the world sharing about the condition and keeping updates as she goes on struggling with the frequent hospital stay and vigorous treatment routine. Edit: For the love of God I wrote this review two years ago but some of y'all are still messaging me how dare I say I didn't like the romance.

It doesn't just make it difficult to breath like an asthma attack it actually stops your breathing in many ways. If I take a closer look at the love story between Stella and Will I’ve to say that it worked for me. Can't really say much about the plot itself because nothing happened (which is fair, I only read like 80 pages). It's unbelievable to me that our teens are constantly enjoying pudding and milkshakes; yet no one discusses the nutritional issues that CF usually comes with. It also gives us an interest in them, because now we have a connection to it, through the characters.Whenever I visited Scott in the hospital; be it early on (years prior) or in the last few months of his death there was always one thing that was a constant. And so it bugs me a lot that the teens seem to eat anything they want with no consideration for nutrition. In this moving story that's perfect for fans of John Green, Nicola Yoon, David Levithan and Jenny Han, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication - they can't get within five feet of each other without risking their lives.

I understand I can change my preference through my account settings or unsubscribe directly from any marketing communications at any time. En A Dos Metros De Ti nos encontramos con la historia de Stella y Will, dos chicos que tienen fibrosis quística y que han vivido la mitad de sus vidas en hospitales y en medio de tratamientos para ganar un poco más de tiempo. I mean not very mature as they are only seventeen but much better than the characters you read in a typical YA book. La lucha que tiene Will consigo mismo y con la bacteria que le impide ser candidato a un transplante me rompía el corazón. What if Will and Stella could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them?

I’ve never met someone else with CF -- never had a cup of coffee, grabbed dinner, or hugged someone who knows how brutal that disease can be. But no matter how much control she tries to take, she can't avoid frequent extended trips to the hospital—and try as she might, she can't protect everyone around her. But overall, Five Feet Apart is a fast-paced, emotional, and well-plotted story with some likable characters with some good characters. 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. I didn’t feel any other than Stella and Will were particularly rounded out, but I can appreciate that the focus is on the impossible circumstances.
