mandiehman 's review for:

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
3.0

Maybe 3.5? (Remember, more realistic star ratings coming to Goodreads in 2019, so I’m erring on the low side :)

I like YA novels, and I liked the style of this one. It was easy to read, relatable and I enjoyed the silliness interspersed throughout in the form of notes, 1-liners and random “exhibits”, just as you’d expect in a teen journal (even if they were ridiculously hard to read on my Kindle).

I also appreciated the twists and turns in the story that kept it from being TOO predictable (although it was still predictable).

I did not, however, love the romanticizing of teen sex, and it’s not a book I’d hand to a teen. Which stinks, because I was thinking MY teen would enjoy it right up until that point.
