Summary of the Book: 

In the story Five Feet Apart, we follow two youngsters who have cystic fibrosis and need to keep a physical distance from one another to prevent cross-contamination: Stella Grant and Will Newman.

Their bond grows stronger, but in the end, Will distances himself from Stella following her lung transplant in order to preserve her chance at survival.

The narrative underscores the value of love and connection despite hardship and stresses the necessity of selflessness in interpersonal relationships.
