I read this graphic novel every Halloween when I‘m waiting for trick or treaters. It has great illustrations and touches on Halloween and other holidays and family issues and grief. But it does it all in a natural and fun way.

Five feet apart is a good book if you like things like Romeo and juliet, The fault in our starts, and Me before you. A book about falling and love and feeling connected but having so much love that you have to let it go. The theme is romance and letting go which is portraits through Stella falling inlove with Will but Will making the deduction to leave to protect her

This book is in alternating 1st person. Stella was born with cystic fibrosis as well as her best friend poe. While she is in for a visit she notices Will. Will has B Cepatia meaning they can never be near each other. Always staying five feet apart. Poe passes away the day of them confessing their love and risking their lives together. Stella gets her new lungs and Will loves her so much he leaves because he could infect her.

A beautiful story about friendship, family, chronic illness, growing up, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. That sounds heavy. However, this book is more than a book about growing up with Cystic Fibrosis. It is a loving portrayal of someone who is coming to realize all of the limitless potential stored in themselves and nurtured by others.
