Holy smokes. Don't open this book unless you have three-four hours to spare because you're not closing it again until The End.
It read like a John Green novel with a twist like Tiffany D. Jackson. Really good. I couldn't put it down.
4.5
I thought this book was amazing! Such a cute love story. It was well built with believable characters. I felt like it ended a little fast, but otherwise was packed nicely!

Me lo leí de un tirón. Para los que quieran un buen libro Young Adult, con una gran historia, con personajes interesantes y diálogos ingeniosos. Y una bonita historia de amor, claro.

I quickly slipped into Everything, Everything in part because of the protagonist, Madeline. Madeline has a rare disorder and for the past seventeen years, she has not left her sterile environment. She is a reader, and her talks about books and her routine when a new book arrives endeared her to me. Despite her diagnosis, she is surprising happily and positive. She is a complex character who is sheltered and naive. Often times she surprised me with displays of surprisingly mature characteristics. It is exactly how I imagine someone who has grown up in a controlled environment would behave.
When a moving truck arrives and a young man named Ollie takes up residences next door, she becomes curious about the family and the young man. She watches there coming and goings like her window is a television set.
While the storyline is predictable, Yoon added a few twists to this story that added a touch of darkness to an otherwise light romance. She takes us through the developing friendship of Madeline and Ollie. As the two become friends, Madeline begins to feel the constraints of her illness and the walls of her home become a prison. I found myself worrying about her as she became impulsive.
Throughout the book are illustrations and notes done by Madeline as well as air quality charts and the like. Secondary characters like her nurse Carla and her mother added depth fleshing out Madeline’s reality. Conversations with Ollie are often in the form of email format and messenger. I was surprised by a little twist in the plot and Yoon did an excellent job of creating believability.
Everything, Everything was a delightful, easy, heartwarming read that will delight readers.
