How
would you feel if you were allergic to everything? I can tell you I would be
miserable.
“Everything Everything” is a young adult novel
written by Nicola Yoon. It is about Madeline, a girl who is diagnosed with SCID
(Severe Combined Immunodeficiency), a rare disease that causes her to be allergic
to everything. Maddie, as she is referred to, cannot leave her house and can’t
have any human contact.
That
is, until the new boy moves in next door. But, don’t let that fool you, as this
is far from a regular boy next door story.
Maddie
soon learns the boy’s name is Olly who has dark hair, wears dark clothes and
sparks the curiosity in Maddie. The two soon learn ways to talk without being
anywhere near each other. But is that really enough for either of them? Will Maddie
really risk her health for some boy she just met?
Would you?
Olly
and Maddie IM (instant message), so when they instant message one another, the
page looks as a phone screen does when people text.
Overall
“Everything, Everything” is just amazing and is one of my favorite contemporary
books. If you love a good contemporary novel, this is the book for you and I
encourage you to read it to discover how it all turns out.
The
next time you are browsing your local bookstore or visiting the Windham Public
or Raymond Village Libraries, pick up this book. You won’t regret it.
