Five Feet Apart by Tobias Iaconis, Rachael Lippincott, Mikki Daughtry

5.0

I haven't read a book that made me cry in about 5 years, until I read this. I heard so many things about this book, especially since the movie came out but wasn't sure how it would work as a book.

I've never read a book by 2 authors never mind 3, so I went into this expecting the writing to not be the best. I was wrong. The writing in this is impeccable and I definitely want to read more from them.

At the beginning I was worried I wasn't going to like it as I didn't feel like any dramatic events were going to happen, but I quickly changed my mind on that. Despite this I was hooked after the first 2 chapters. I really want to see the film, however I'm feeling nervous to because I cried like a baby at the book, so I will definitely cry like a baby at the film!

*UPDATE* I did cry like a baby at the film and seemed reassurance and hugs from my boyfriend all night! It’s very rare I find a film that I love as much as the book, but I loved this. The book and the film were on par with everything but the ending of the film, is much more emotional than in the book.

This was read as my 'read and watch a book to movie adaptation' challenge for The Reading Rush 2019.
