Synopsis: Madeline Whittier is allergic to the outside world. So allergic, in fact, that she has never left the house in all of her seventeen years. But when Olly moves in next door, and wants to talk to maddie, Tiny holes start to appear in the protective bubble her mother has built around her. Olly writes his IM address on a piece of paper, shows it at her window, and suddenly, a door opens. But Does maddie dare to step outside her comfort zone? Everything, Everything is about the thrill and heartbreak that happens when we break out of the shell to do crazy, sometimes death-defying things for love.
Reviews From Other Authors:
I give all the stars in the sky to Nicola Yoon's sparkling debut everything, everything is everything, everything - powerful, lovely, heart-wrenching, and so absorbing l devoured it in one sitting. It is a wonder the rare novel that lifts and shatters and fills you all at once - Jennifer niven, Author of all the bright places.
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 l have read this year - Jodi Picoult
An absolute peach of a love story. Maddy's unique history of isolation and solitude makes every incremental step towards intimacy crackle with impossible hope. Their chemistry rebounds off the page and it is beautifully written, too with charm, wit and style as well as heart - Susie day, author of my invisible boyfriend.
An entirely unique and beautiful read experience gorgeous writing meshes with original artwork to tell a love story like no other. You have read a book like this - David Arnold, author of mosquitoland
Everything, Everything has everything... romance, heart, and intelligence. Nicola Yoon's Book and voice stayed with me long after l finished reading - Danielle Paige, Author of Dorothy must die
Review: This book was easy to get in to. I was hooked after reading the first page and l love the design on the cover it is very pretty and colourful.
I
was sad to read that Madeline's Father passed away. It must be hard
for Madeline being struck in the house but she has a laptop so she
can get grades and email her friend Olly her next door neighbour.
Madeline sounds like a great girl. I was sad to read that Madeline's
brother passed away. it must been hard for Madeline's mother to lose
her husband and son in the same day. it must be hard to think you
could lose your daughter the last piece of your husband. I feel sorry
for Olly, his mother and sister having to deal with Olly's Father
being
a drunk. I really was sad to read that Olly was Punched in the
stomach by his father who is suppose to look after him and make sure
no harm comes to him. I highly recommend this book. I wish l could
rate it more than 5 stars because it deserves more than the 5
stars l rated it. I would love to read more about Madeline and Olly .
Carla sounds like a great friendly nurse unlike Madeline's new nurse.
Carla is not only Madeline's Nurse but she's her friend too Carla
wishes her daughter was like Madeline. But her mother fired Carla
because she went against the rules and let a strange boy into the
clean house and near Madeline. Madeline is allergic to everything in
the world she lives in a clean house. It was nice to read that
Madeline's mother give Madeline a picture of herself,her mother,her
father and her brother on the beach in Hawaii. Madeline was only
a baby in the picture she was being held by her mother. Madeline and
Olly sounds like they would make a great couple. Madeline and Olly
run away to Hawaii for two days. They buy presents for some of their
family members. Olly got something for his mother and his sister.
Madeline buys something for Carla and a postcard for her mother. I
could happily read this book again and again. I can not put in to
words how great this book is l would tell people to read it
for themselves to know how great this book really is. I would
tell people to step outside your comfort zone with books because it
is good to add more authors and genres to your reading portfolio even
if you do not read books like this. I am glad this book is on my
bookshelf. I am really glad l have read this book. It must be hard
for Madeline's Mother Pauline knowing she could lose her surviving
child she would go to any lengths to keep Madeline safe from any
danger. I would like to read more books from Nicola Yoon. I hope
Olly's Father goes to jail for hitting Olly. I really enjoyed this
story and book. It is nice that Madeline books because books take you
away from your life. I wish Madeline and Olly get together as
boyfriend and girlfriend. I was happy to read that Olly and Madeline
made the most of their time together. Pauline Madeline's mother
emailed Olly to asks about Madeline and she told her mother she was
fine and she will see her soon. Pauline just wants her daughter where
she knows she is safe and Olly's friend Zack knew that Madeline was
lying about the tablets. He said he would not tell Olly because he
had secrets of his own. one of my favorite authors has read this book
and she loved it like l do. Hawaii sounds beautiful. I hope Madeline
does not get ill and she does not die because her mother,Olly and
Carla would be heartbroken. It would be hard for her mother if she
has to bury another child. I am guessing she does not die which l am
glad of. Madeline's mother is flying out to Hawaii to bring her home
to the clean house. She loves Madeline and she does not want to lose
another child. It was horrible to read that Madeline's father and
brother died due to a car accident because the driver of the other
car fell asleep at the wheel you should not drive when you are tired
because this could happen. The doctor Madeline seen in Hawaii thinks
she was never ill if she is not why would her mother keep her locked
away from the outside world or is it that she is worried she is going
to lose Madeline like she lost her husband and her son they both
passed away on the same day in a car accident. I was happy to read
that Olly,his mother and sister got away from his father and they was
safe from him. A few months after they left Olly's father left the
house with his belongings. Madeline hoped he was not going after
Olly,his mother and sister. Olly's father is a drunk who hit his wife
and son. I was happy to read that Madeline's mother Pauline hired
Carla to be Madeline's nurse again. This book has 310 pages in it. I
was sad to read that Madeline was not reading Olly's emails. This
book has some really nice drawings. Madeline so wants to email Olly
but she just makes drafts after drafts of what she wants to say. This
is a good storyline. It was nice that Pauline was getting counselling
to help her come to terms with the loss of her husband and son.
