Risk everything . . . for love with this #1 New York Times bestseller. What if you couldn’t touch anything in the outside world? Never breathe in the fresh air, feel the sun warm your face . . . or kiss the boy next door? In Everything, Everything , Maddy is a girl who’s literally allergic to the outside world, and Olly is the boy who moves in next door . . . and becomes the greatest risk she’s ever taken. 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. Everything, Everything will make you laugh, cry, and feel everything in between. It's an innovative, inspiring, and heartbreakingly romantic debut novel that unfolds via vignettes, diary entries, illustrations, and more. And don’t miss Nicola Yoon's The Sun Is Also A Star , the #1 New York Times bestseller in which two teens are brought together just when it seems like the universe is sending them in opposite directions. Review: Good book - Great book, one of my favourites and the print quality is good. Review: Loved it, but disappointed with the end. - I thoroughly enjoyed the start!! Infact everything was well described! I loved Maddy's character and I am in love with Olly. He is such a sweetheart!!! The way he cares for Maddy and everything he says, everything he does is adorable. I loved how the author described every emotion perfectly. The feeling of falling in love, all those butterflies.... The feeling of getting hurt, angry, upset everything. The thing that disappointed me the most is her mother's character. I can't, infact I don't want to understand it. I was thoroughly in love with their mother-daughter relationship until the twist. Everyone knows that Maddy is going to be okay at the end but I didn't expect it to be that weird. Also the last chapter should have been longer. I expected many beautiful emotions floating in the end and it was really disappointing. It was a sweet ending but I expected it to be the sweetest after everything that was previously written. I would definitely read the book again but only the happy times.

Beautiful, heartbreaking, and filled with hope
Everything, Everything is a delicate and emotional journey of love, truth, and freedom. I felt every page — the excitement, the fear, the heartbreak. It reminds you how much life is worth risking for. A quiet, beautiful story that lingers in the heart.

Okayy
Spoiler free review of book 'Everything Everything' by author 'Nicola Yoon' The book talks about Maddy, who is allergic to the world and hasn't left her house since 17 years. Olly is the boy next door who is determined to find a way to reach her. This is a story about true love and the risks you take for love. My review- The cover of the book is very eye catching along with the title that instantly grabs your attention. I liked the summary of the book and immediately wanted to read further. The title of every chapter in the book is very witty and interesting. The writing style is unique and attractive. The author has used illustration in between chapters and there are phone texts along with timetables and schedules. These drawings make the words more relatable and easy to understand. The book is one of the bestsellers of newyork and I brought it with a lot of expectations. The book turned out to be a little disappointing for me (only because I expected a lot more) I couldn't agree with the ending, but afterall it's a fiction and not everything written is real. However, I liked the book because of it's creativity and character's. The book has great humour and romance which one will like a lot. My rating - 3.5/5 ⭐ Author - Nicola Yoon My favourite quotes - • "You're not living if you're not regretting." • "Maybe growing up means disappointing the people we love." • "There's a reason why people touch, because sometimes words aren't enough." Final say- Wonderful book, if you are looking for a laugh and cry at the same time ❤️

Love can kill you.
In the height of spring, I peeked into my cupboard cum bookshelf and picked whatever contemporary had the most colorful flowers on its cover. Everything Everything is about a girl who’s allergic to the world, falling in love with the boy next door and risking everything for everything. Maddy’s spent her entire life in the cage that is her house. A prisoner to her sickness, she only ever gets to meet two people: her mother and her nurse. Intrigued by the life of her next-door neighbors, she begins to watch them closely. She finds herself infatuated with Olly (the boy next door) and it seems that he feels the same way. They soon develop a close friendship and this makes her want more from her life. But when even a toe out of line could mean risking everything, will Maddy ever be free? First-time author Nicola Yoon has done a wonderful job with this novel. Everything Everything is fast paced, unique, romantic, witty, frustrating, and heartbreaking altogether. One very important lesson that I took away from this novel is that love is never just a harmless emotion. It changes you, challenges you, improves you, and sometimes even destroys you. I'll be looking forward to more feel good light hearted novels from Yoon.

Excellent book
I honestly finished it within a day. When you are reading it you will feel like you're living Madeline's life. The romance is not cheesy and it's perfect. The twist is also very interesting. I can read this a hundred times and never get bored.

Im Gedächtnis bleibender Debüt-Roman
Dieses Buch hat schon so lange auf meinem SUB gelegen seit der ganze Hype darum auf Booktube losging und nun bin ich endlich dazugekommen – und ich bin so froh es gelesen zu haben. Das erste Mal habe ich von der Autorin Nicola Yoon im Zusammenhang mit ihrem zweiten Roman The Sun is Also a Star gehört, der sogar noch mehr gepriesen wird als ihr erster. Gelesen hab ich The Sun is Also a Star noch nicht, habe es aber bald vor, denn ich will unbedingt sehen, ob dieses zweite Buch sogar noch besser ist als das erste und das sagt schon viel, denn normalerweise lese ich nicht so viel Contemporary. Lest weiter um herauszufinden warum es mir so gut gefallen hat. Geschichte Die 18-jährige Madeline lebt eingeschlossen in einem Haus mit Luftschleusen, Dekontaminatoren (ist das ein akzeptables deutsches Wort?), Fenstern, die man nicht öffnen kann, und ganz ohne Besuch von draußen. Sie hat ihr Haus nicht mehr verlassen seit sie ein Baby war und täte sie es jetzt, würde sie mit ziemlicher Sicherheit sterben. Kurz gesagt leidet sie an der schweren Immunkrankheit SCID, die sie praktisch auf alles in der Außenwelt allergisch macht. Ihre einzigen Freunde sind ihre Mutter und ihre Krankenschwester Carla mit denen sie jeden einzelnen Tag verbringt. Ihr einziger Zeitvertreib sind ihre Bücher und die Film- und Spielabende, die sie immer mit ihrer Mutter veranstaltet. Alles ändert sich als nebenan eine neue Familie einzieht und mit ihr ein Junge, der von Maddy so fasziniert ist, dass er sie einfach nicht in Ruhe lassen kann. Dabei regt er in ihr zum ersten Mal seit langer Zeit den dringenden Wunsch ihr Haus verlassen und die ganze Welt erleben zu können. Äußerlichkeiten Das Cover ist wunderschön. Der Schriftzug ist sehr simpel gehalten aber mit sehr vielen bunten Illustrationen verziert, die in den verschiedensten Farben alles Mögliche darstellen: Blumen, Bücher, Gebäude, Flugzeuge, Musik – ihr versteht schon, eben everything, everything. Das passt sehr gut zu den Illustrationen im Buch (alle von Nicola Yoons Ehemann David), die einen großen Teil zum Lesevergnügen beigetragen haben. Das ganze ist also sehr grafisch und hat mich vom Design her manchmal ganz leicht an eine sehr abgeschwächte Version von Illuminae von Amie Kaufman und Jay Kristoff erinnert. Es ist wahrscheinlich eines der am schnellsten zu lesenden Bücher auf meinem Regal. Mit ca. 300 Seiten, viele von welchen mit Zeichnungen gefüllt oder wegen den kurzen Kapiteln eher leer gelassen wurden, ist es durchaus möglich das Buch in einem Rutsch durchzulesen. Manchmal lese ich gerne eine sehr kurze Geschichte, wenn ich zum Beispiel gerade einen dicken Wälzer beendet habe um ein bisschen Abwechslung reinzubringen. Dafür ist Everything, Everything perfekt. Schreibstil & Plot Das ganze Buch ist sehr einfach geschrieben: viele kurze Sätze, aber mit sehr vielen schönen Metaphern zwischendrin, die es irgendwie besonders gemacht haben. Sehr gut hat mit gefallen, dass jedes Kapitel einen Namen hat und sie nicht einfach durchnummeriert sind. Die Autorin hat es geschafft die Geschichte emotional zu machen ohne dabei kitschig zu wirken und das ist eine Kunst. Sie hat es geschafft, dass die Charaktere mir sehr ans Herz gewachsen sind und ich mich toll in sie habe einfühlen können. Ich kann zwar nicht aus Erfahrung sprechen, doch trotzdem kam mir Maddys Stimme in Bezug darauf, wie sie mit ihrer Krankheit umgeht, sehr realistisch vor. Manchmal kamen mir einzelne Kapitel wie sehr kleine Einblicke in ihr Leben vor, bei denen etwas Kleber gefehlt hat um sie in eine komplett zusammenhängende Geschichte zu basteln, aber das hat mich wirklich nur sehr selten ein kleines bisschen gestört. Der einzige Punkt, der mir nicht ganz so gut gefallen hat, war der Schluss, aber auch nur, weil er für meinen Geschmack etwas kurz geraten ist. Es war einfach ein wenig abrupt und ich hätte gerne noch mehr Details gesehen. Charaktere Beide Protagonisten, Madeline und Olly, haben mir sehr gut gefallen. Die Geschichte wird aus Maddys Sicht erzählt, worüber ich mir anfangs ein wenig Sorgen gemacht habe. Da sie so krank ist und komplett abgeschnitten von der Welt lebt, habe ich eine eher depressive Erzählerin erwartet, doch ich wurde positiv vom Gegenteil überrascht. Maddy hat ihr Leben so wie es ist akzeptiert und ist so glücklich wie sie eingesperrt eben sein kann. Sie ist weder depressiv noch beschwert sie sich dauernd über ihre Situation und hat durch das ganze hinweg sogar ihren Humor behalten können. Es war sehr angenehm in ihrem Kopf zu sein – eine sehr erfrischende Abwechslung zu so manch anderem YA Buch, das mir in der letzten Zeit zwischen die Finger geraten ist. Ich habe mich sofort in Olly verliebt. Er gibt Maddy nie das Gefühl ein Freak zu sein und packt sie gleichzeitig auch nicht mit Samthandschuhen an. Es ist klar, dass sie ihm viel bedeutet in allem was er tut und trotzdem ist er keiner dieser typischen klischeehaften, ich-geh-mal-kurz-brechen Typen, die in schwierigen Situationen immer so schmalzig sein müssen. Lieblingszitat "I was happy before I met him. But I’m alive now, and those are not the same thing." (Seite 181) Dieses Zitat beschreibt ganz toll die Beziehung zwischen den beiden. Sie braucht ihn nicht um glücklich zu sein, aber durch ihn fühlt sie sich einfach lebendiger. Genau so soll es doch sein. Fazit Everything, Everything ist schnelles, aber Eindruck hinterlassendes Lesematerial und ein ziemlich außergewöhnlicher Debüt-Roman. Zwar ging es mir manchmal ein klein wenig zu schnell, doch insgesamt hat es mir trotzdem total gut gefallen. Ich will in Zukunft unbedingt mehr von Nicola Yoon lesen und freue mich schon auf ihr zweites Buch!

Una storia bellissima e commovente
Ho pianto tantissimo leggendo questo libro: all'inizio, durante e alla fine, perché separarmi dai personaggi è stato uno strazio. Storia ben pensata, costruita ancora meglio, con uno stile da cui staccarsi sembra impossibile. La svolta finale è un pochino prevedibile, ma ho comunque apprezzato tantissimo il modo in cui è stata raccontata la storia. Meravigliose anche le illustrazioni che danno un tocco in più al libro. L'inglese utilizzato non è difficilissimo, per un livello intermedio può andar bene, ma munitevi di dizionario perché incontrerete parole che non conoscete!

More than a love story.
Madeline Whittier is 17 years old and she does not go outside her home because she has Severe Combined Immunodeficiency, basically she is allergic to the world. However, new neighbours move into the house next door and Madeline spots a teenage boy called Olly. Follow Madeline as she looks out of her window and dreams of a life outside. Everything, Everything is a debut novel but you would never guess it because her writing is of such high quality and polished. I loved the format of this book, first person with a linear time scale. Madeline wonderfully describes her life to the reader so that we know what it is like to be trapped in her home and to fear the big, dangerous outside world. The story is so engaging and although told from a female perspective, blokes can so easily relate to it. There is a lot of romance here but it is not slushy or off-putting. The romance is soft and tender, drawing the reader in with hope. You can only wish for things to turn for the better with Madeline. I loved the philosophy weaved into this story. The dialogue shared with the reader leads to some wonderful quotes to take away with you… “Everything’s a risk. Not doing anything is a risk. It’s up to you.” “It’s not your fault. Life is a gift. Don’t forget to live it.” “You’re not living if you’re not regretting.” ...I thoroughly enjoyed reading Everything, Everything. Many people are finding it a challenge staying at home during the Coronavirus pandemic which makes this book extremely easy to relate to. I just wish that Mark Drakeford, First Minister of Wales would read this book and reconsider his decision to keep Wales stuck at home, lagging and trapped behind the rest of the UK, as most of Great Britain eases out of lockdown. Although this book is set in California, readers in lockdown around the globe can relate so easily to Madeline’s entrapment. Everything, Everything is basically a love story but with a lot more thrown in. It is a TOP CLASS read with a happy ending that gets 5 stars from me.
