#qotd If my life were a book and you read it backward, nothing would change. Today is the same as yesterday. Tomorrow will be the same as today. In the book of Maddy, all the chapters are the same.
Until Olly.
📚 Madeline Whittier is suffering from a rare condition called SCID(Severe Combined Immunodeficiency). As the name suggests, her immunity is so compromised that she can't even breath unfiltered air. Everything that reaches her is decontaminated including books and humans. She has her mom and Carla her nurse cum care take to look after her.
✈️ Everything in her room from her clothes, to furniture and walls is white, reflecting the meticulousness needed to preserve her fragile health. She has never stepped out of her house but she is happy. Happy to be alive; until Olly arrives, and the hues of her existence change. Suddenly, the sterile white isn't enough; she craves the vibrancy of life. She is hit by the realisation that she wants to live rather than just stay alive.
This heartwarming tale is a delightful read, weaving a simple yet predictable love story. Amidst the pages, discover not only the sweet narrative but also the captivating graphics that enhance this touching exploration of love and life.
