Can you love someone you can never touch ? 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. What Stella needs to control most is her distance from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions. The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital.
In one week he'll turn eighteen, and then he'll be able to unplug himself from all these machines and actually go see the world. Will's exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. But now six feet doesn't feel like safety. It feels like punishment. What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them ? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too ?
