Five steps away

Five steps away by Rachel Lipinkot ... Can you love someone you can never touch? Stella Grant, a girl obsessed with control, even though her lungs — completely out of her control — cause her to enter the hospital repeatedly most of her life. At this stage, what Stella needs most is to distance herself from anyone or anything that might cause her infection or ruin her chance of a lung transplant. Everyone is six steps away. No exceptions. Will Newman, the most thing controlling his mind is getting out of this hospital. He doesn't care about his treatments, or any new clinical trial. Soon, he will turn eighteen and will be able to get rid of all these devices and go out to see the world in its true form, not just his hospitals. Will specifically is whom Stella needs to stay away from. If he breathes near her, her name might be removed from the transplant list. And either of them could die. The only way to survive is for them to stay away from each other. But suddenly, the six steps between them do not seem safe, but rather a torment. What if they could regain some of the distance taken by their sick lungs? Could just five steps between them really be dangerous if it protects their hearts from breaking?
