Goodreads Summary:
My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla.
But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly.
Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster.
Review:
I think this is one of the hardest reviews I’ve written so far because I like the book, I loved the ending, I loved the message, but I did not like the MC. Don’t get me wrong, Madeline is not a bad character, I just personally didn’t like her half of the time.
I really like that Everything, Everything encourages the reader to do things they’re afraid of, not to stay in unhealthy relationships, and makes us see that the person “in love” does not always have the best judgement when it comes to the person they love.
What I actually disliked about EE was the middle of the book. I found myself a little bored and I was very close to giving up on it. I decided to put it aside for a few months and gave it a second chance a few days ago and I’m glad I did because the last 30% of the book was awesome!
I personally think if I had been younger I would have absolutely loved Everything, Everything. The writing is wonderful and at times poetic (and I’m a sucker for poetic writing), but I was not able to connect with the characters. I found them a bit childish at times and that made my experience a not so great one.
Overall, Everything, Everything is a novel you want to read. The impressions it leaves you with are worth the read.
Rating: 4 out of 5

Glad you enjoyed it! I also thought the book was adorable, especially the main characters and their romance. The writing was also beautiful! Glad you persisted with it 🙂
The romance was adorable! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Great review. I loved this book and I’m 50!😊 Maybe I haven’t let go of my inner teen.
Haha. You made me laugh. And I think that’s a good thing. I honestly think it was my mood at the time I was reading it. Thanks for stopping by!
Yay! Mood is everything. That said, I think your points were valid.
Awwww thank you! I always try to say what I don’t like nicely. No reason to be rude about it. 🙂
You did it very nicely! I had to give my first 1 star review recently and I felt so guilty.😒
It feels horrible right? But, it’s best we say the truth. 🙂
