Book Review: Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon


Book Cover :Amazon
Book Synopsis: Amazon

Title:Everything Everything
Author:Nicola Yoon
Format: Hardcover
Release Date:September 1rst, 2015
Publisher: Delacorte Press
My Rating (out of 5 stars): ★★★★★
Book Synopsis: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.

Everything, Everything will make you laugh, cry, and feel everything in between. It's an innovative,  inspiring, and heartbreakingly romantic debut novel that unfolds via vignettes, diary entries, illustrations, and more.

I have passed reading this book for a while because I felt like it was similar to that movie Bubble Boy with John Travolta (I believe that is what it is called). I saw it everywhere I went like, Barns & Noble, and Target. I went to see Beauty and the Beast this past Sunday and one of the trailer previews was for this book Everything Everything. The trailer was fantastic! After the movie I went to target to pick up this book. Once I got home I started reading it and finished it that night.

This book was fantastic. I loved how it was written. I especially loved the pictures and illustrations that were drawn throughout the book. I loved the relationship between Maddy and Olly. It shows how a person will do anything for love. Maddy was a teenage girl who had not been out side her entire life, but when the new boy next door Olly moves in she sees him through the window and immediately wants to get to know him. All of these characters in the book goes through ups and downs one quote in the book stood out to me. It was said my Carla, Maddy's nurse, she said "life is a gift, Don't forget to live it".

I was very shocked at the end of the book because I did not expect the story to go in that direction. If you have read the book you know what I mean.If you have not read it, I am not going to spoil it, therefore you will have to read it to know what I am talking about.

I am really excited to see if the movie is similar to the book.
