Everything, Everything
by Nicola Yoon
Everything, Everything is so close to my heart.
I don't understand how anyone could not like this book. It was breathtaking, funny, witty, soul-soothing and hope-filling.
I loved every moment of it.
I don't feel like I'm equipped to say whether this book was ableist as an able-bodied person but my short answer is I don't think so.
I think there was supposed to be holes in her illness so the reader would catch on that Maddy was not sick. I don't think the point of the book was to portray an accurate description of this illness and I don't think the author was using it as shock value.
I think she was trying to show the lengths love and grief will make you go. Especially a mother's love.
4 stars from me!
-Also, a black YA author, wow!!! Representation matters so much!
-A multi-racial main character and the book isn't about race! Iconic!
-A mixed race relationship and the book isn't about race, fucking brilliant!
REPRESENTATION MATTERS SO MUCH.
-Also, love is worth everything.
That is all. I can't wait to ugly cry at the movie.
