Maddy, diagnosed with a severe immunodeficiency illness, has never stepped outside of her home in eighteen years. Maddy lives alone with her protective mother and their hired supervisor, Carla. However, Maddy’s life completely changes once Olly and his family move into the house next door. Maddy begins to fall for Olly and as the two grow close, communicating through a window by text or phone call just isn’t enough. Maddy’s one wish is to be close to Olly, even if it means risking everything.
Everything, Everything is a dynamically written romance novel that is both entertaining and emotionally connecting. By personal experience, I doubted that I would enjoy this particular genre. However, the story-line was compelling and explored something that I wasn’t quite familiar with. The novel was truly an unexpected page-turner. The book interprets the characters’ personalities well and illustrates each experience with imagination.
Overall, I enjoyed this read and would recommend this book to teen readers who are looking for a novel that is moving and inspirational.
