This thread is to discuss Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott.


Pages: 288 pages


Length: 1 Month (March)


Participants: Ruthie, Alyana Pearl, Nicole, Meghna, Manni, Frezita .


Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

I just finished reading this book. I would like to participate to see your point of view!

Hi Barbara, first time reading the book although I've seen the movie - i want to be able to compare both the movie and the book.

This book tugged ALL of my heartstrings! Enjoy!!!

I've seen the movie too and I would like to read the book as well. We'll start this probably the second week.

I started this yesterday :)

I finished this yesterday and I can say that there's not much of a difference in the movie and the book. I liked it. :)

I enjoyed this book and movie. I loved the characters.

(view spoiler)[ I did enjoy The Fault in Our Stars a lot more though. I rated that one 5 stars where this one I only rated 3. I think I was a little hard in my rating on this one though. Maybe more like a 4 star. (hide spoiler)]

Finally got it from the library! will start tomorrow or the beginning of next week

Hi Joan! I enjoyed both the movie and book too! Didn't see much difference. 4 stars for me.

Hi Ruthie! How is it going so far?

I haven't started it yet actually!

I really liked it! I'll link my review

I finished the book last weekend. I had not seen the movie so I got to enjoy the book and scenes as I read. it is a cute story and I'm glad it had a bittersweet ending. Yes, I wished for a happy ever after but at least it was heartbreaking.

Hi Frezita, I thought you have watched the movie as per your message #3? :)

When I first sign up for the Group discussion I confused Five feet apart with The Fault in the stars. it wasn't till I started reading the book that i realized I had not seen the movie and I was confused with both stories.
