Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
5.0

I had to force myself to go to sleep last night. And even then, all I wanted to do was pull my Kindle back up and finish the book. I requested this book for two reasons. First reason, the cover. I am kind of shallow when it comes to books...I do tend to judge them by their covers. But I mean, LOOK AT HOW GORGEOUS AND EYE CATCHING IT IS! Second reason, the summary. It looked like it was promising and I liked that it was different than some of the other books I have been reading lately. Overall, I am SO satisfied with this book. And so happy I was chosen to read it before it came out.

I instantly fell in love with Maddy and the story line. It was so different and so refreshing that I just instantly dove into the book without looking back. Nicole Yoon did a brilliant job on this and when she writes another book, I will be the first in line to get my hands on it. Everything, Everything had my emotions all over the place. I would laugh. I would cry. I was angry, joyful, scared, and in love. I couldn't get enough of Maddy and Olly. From the very first page, actually, the very first paragraph, I was hooked on this book!

"I've read many more books than you. It doesn't matter how many you've read. I've read more. Believe me. I've had the time."

There are so many underlying messages that you are given in this book. "Life is a gift" or "Love can't kill you". Maddy is willing to risk a lot just so she can live and love. If you're going through a rough patch in life and need a pick me up, I suggest you read this book. Not only will you fall in love with the characters, but it may even open your eyes to things you never even knew possible.

The book does take a turn and will leave you reeling for a bit while you find your way back to the surface. All I can say is that people do what they do for reasons; some are beyond our understanding. People tend to amaze us every day. (Or stun us, whichever you may prefer.)

Thank Nicole Yoon for writing this book. If I could meet you I would give you the biggest hug in the world. READ THIS BOOK PEOPLE! :)
