Can you love someone you can't touch?

"I never understood the meaning of human touch... until I couldn't have it."

Stella's only chance of survival is a new lung. Until then, she must stay away from everything and everyone to avoid jeopardizing her already weak immune system. Without exception.

Will is completely different - he refuses to be defeated and is ready to take full risks. As soon as he turns 18, he plans to leave the hospital to finally see more of the world.

Above all, Will is someone Stella must keep her distance from. If he even breathes on her, she could get infected. Both could die. But the more time they spend together, the more the mandated safety distance between them feels like a punishment. Would a little more closeness really be so deadly - especially if it prevents their hearts from breaking?.
