Everything, Everything
Risk everything for love with this #1 New York Times bestseller from Nicola Yoon - "Gorgeous and lyrical"--The New York Times Book Review What if you couldn't touch anything in the outside world? Never breathe in the fresh air, feel the sun warm your face . . . or kiss the boy next door? In Everything, Everything, Maddy is a girl who's literally allergic to the outside world, and Olly is the boy who moves in next door . . . and becomes the greatest risk she's ever taken. "This extraordinary first novel about love so strong it might kill us is too good to feel like a debut. Tender, creative, beautifully written, and with a great twist, Everything, Everything is one of the best books I've read this year."--Jodi Picoult
My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I'm allergic to the world. I don't leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla. But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He's tall, lean and wearing all black--black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly. Maybe we can't predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It's almost certainly going to be a disaster. Everything, Everything will make you laugh, cry, and feel everything in between. It's an innovative, inspiring, and heartbreakingly romantic debut novel that unfolds via vignettes, diary entries, illustrations, and more. And don't miss Nicola Yoon's bestselling novels The Sun Is Also A Star and Instructions for Dancing.

Damn. What a book. I'm a bit overwhelmed right now. "Everything" is an apt title, because that's what it felt like this book encompassed. All formats, all feelings, all genres. It was humorous, it was dramatic, it was philosophical, it was thrilling. It had texts and pictures and spirals and short chapters and long chapters. I basically read this book in a single sitting. It was quick, but not easy. It was fast-paced without feeling rushed (I hate that -- like a meaningless action movie). I'm really giving it 4.5 stars, rather than just 4, because I felt so very many feelings BUT I cannot forgive it for feeling a little predictable and for the sexy scene -- what is this, The Fault in Our Stars, where the sick kids have to bang before they're dead? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but I felt it was a little pander-y and gimmicky. Reading this will only take a few hours of your life and also is an excellent book, therefore you should do it. Now. Spring seems like the best time for a book like this. Also, then you will also want to reread The Little Prince to find a new meaning in it. And there's never a bad time to reread The Little Prince.
4. 5 stars if i could. who would've thought a teenie bopper book could get me out of this book funk? this book was everything!
As someone with a chronic illness, I loved this book. Made me feel seen and heard. Also helped me remember it could be worse
Ugh, made my heart cry. You want so bad for her to get out of her house, but she can’t. Or can she??
I knew the end would make angry. How upsetting that a parent would do this.
Ugh.
I like the story though. I do.
Just mad at parents that don't put their kids first.
