Everything Everything by Nikola Yoon is the story of Madeline who suffers from SCID. Her mother is a doctor; she lives in her house and hasn't gone out even once in the past 17 years. She befriends her new neighbour, Olly and they start chatting online. Eventually Madeline falls in love with him. They meet ocassionally in Madeleine's sunroom.
One night, Madeline decides to go to Hawai with Olly. It's the last place where she and her family visited before her brother and father got killed in an accident. She knows she'll get sick but she just wants to live her life the way she wants - just for once. And so they go and spend couple of days together before Madeline gets sick. She is rushed to a hospital and later bought back to her home. A few weeks later, she recieves an email from the doctor who attended her in Hawai and she knows that this is the begining of the end.
I don't know if it's me but I knew the ending even before I read like 25% of the book. I knew what was going to happen and the ending was exactly the same as I predicted.
It's a sweet short story about falling in love and doing anything and everything for love :
Madeline - despite knowing she is sick, rushes out of the house to help Olly when she was being hit by his father. Latet she decides to run away to Hawai with Olly.
Madeleine's Mother - the one who never really recovered from the death of her husband and son, afraid that she'll lose her daughter too falsely diagnoses her of having SCID. She makes Madeline live 17 years of her life in a closed room not letting her experience anything of the outer world only so that she would never leave her.
LOVE MAKES YOU DO EVERYTHING.
