Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
3.0
I gave this book 3/5, I liked it but I wasn't blown away by it either.
The subject and story line had potential for depth but I don't think it really hit any sort of significant depth. It was a lot of surface material and the smallest hint of insta-love.
I do, however, think this novel has a great coming of age story to tell. I would recommend it to teens who are trying to find themselves. Even in being trapped inside her house all of her life, without the world interfering, Maddy struggles to know who she is. This is a great read to watch her journey as she discovers exactly who she is.
The romance part to the story fell a little flat. I wanted the connect between Olly and Maddy to go deep and I think the author wanted that as well but it just fell a tiny bit short. Their story was sweet though and watching it grow and bloom was still nice to see.
I spent a lot of time thinking I had this book figured out and that it was a tad predictable ... and I was proven wrong in one instant. So the end definitely tripped up a bit.
