Welcome to the LitCharts study guide on Rachael Lippincott's Five Feet Apart. Created by the original team behind SparkNotes, LitCharts are the world's best literature guides.
Novel Adaptation. Five Feet Apart is unusual in that it was a screenplay before it was a novel. Rachael Lippincott wrote a novel adaptation based on the written screenplay, and the movie was filmed afterwards.
Claire Wineland’s Influence. Claire Wineland, a popular teenage YouTuber living with cystic fibrosis, inspired the novel and film and was consulted during the story’s creation. She even coached actors Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson (who play Will and Stella) on how to make their coughs sound realistic for cystic fibrosis patients.
