Review: Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon

Everything, Everything - Nicola Yoon

Here is a summary of what the  book is about.  Risk everything... for love. 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.

 

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.

 

Oh my Gosh I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down.

 

There are some surprises in it that I didn't see coming.

 

I would recommend this book. I can't wait to see the movie.

 

I do plan on reading more books by this author.

 

By the way the author's husband did all of the illustrations in the book.

 

I thought this book was very well written.

 

Happy Reading Everyone!
