Most importantly, it gave me an amazing read. I really enjoyed this book, it made me think and it made me question. The book itself is just full of twists and turns, which just makes it even more interesting.

Or Madeline’s mother, who we later find out is going insane. Or Ollie, reckless, charming but extremely caring. Like Madeline, who is displayed as helpless and behaves way younger than her actual age.

I like how Nicola Yoon gives each character a very different personality. They grow closer and closer but the fact that Madeline is severely ill prevents them from being together. Ollie, the boy next door, starts to talk too Madeline over IM. A few weeks pass and Madeline starts to learn more and more about the family as she watches them from her bedroom window. A young and seemingly depressed teenage girl, a violent and alcoholic father, a weak and incapable mother but most importantly a boy who is wild, clever and very good looking. Shortly after Madeleine’s 18th birthday, a new family moves in next door. As the story goes on it displays how life is a precious gift that many take for granted. He husband was a doctor and had been treating Madeline since she was little. Madeline Whitter spends her whole life inside a bubble, with her mother who is broken by the accident which killed both her husband and son. The slightest thing from the outside world could trigger a reaction or worse, death. The story circles around a young girl named Madeline Whitter, who has a rare disease called SID, which is where you’re allergic to the world. It made me think about life’s struggles but also made me see the beauty. From the cover of the novel to the storyline and characters, all of it was just so captivating. If I had to sum up the whole book into one word, it would be: beautiful.

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
