Jillian lent me her copy of Rachael Lippincott's novel Five Feet Apart, which is to be a movie this month...Actually I think it's a movie in theaters now.
This novel is about a girl named Stella who suffers from CF (cystic fibrosis), and posts about her journey with the disease on YouTube. This is reminiscent of Claire Wineland, who also posted about her battle with CF on YouTube. Claire passed away not too long ago, and you can read more about her here. Actually, the girl in the trailer of the movie looks sort of like Claire, which I think makes the reader connect to the novel on a more real-life level.
So Dewey Readers, this novel is a love story and like many y.a. novels (The Fault in Our Stars, Everything, Everything, etc.) follows the trend of love & illness. It has twists that I feared were going to be cliche, but ended up keeping me on the edge of my seat (or rather page) wanting more. I devoured this novel. And even though Jillian didn't write a review, she read it within a day.
So Dewey Readers, we leave you with a rating of 5 out of 5 Coffee Beans.
Check out the movie trailer below!
