Risk everything . . . for love.
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.

Book Review:
The premise of a girl, who is allergic to the world, falling for the boy next door... yeah I am in! It a Sarah Dessen novel mixed with a John Green novel. I was sucked in from the synopsis.
I am so glad that I picked it up. I could not put it down! I flew through it in 3 days. I had so much hope for the characters. I really resonated with Maddy's personality. And what girl doesn't fall for the dangerous boy at least once? There is just something so appealing about the thrill seeking, mysterious, seemingly dark boy, who you always believe has a good heart that he is hiding from the rest of the world. Now Olly, wasn't that to a T, but he was a thrill seeker and his entire existence was basically a danger for Maddy.
Now, I won't go into too much detail, but all I will say is that I was skeptical to believe how serious Maddy's situation was. Mainly because I wanted her to have a happily ever after.... I wanted her to see the world that she had been daydreaming about her entire life. I wanted her to be able to love Olly. I wanted a lot...
I am so excited for the movie!!!!!!

“I was trying so hard to find the single pivotal moment that set my life on its path. The moment that answered the question, 'How did I get here?'
But it's never just one moment. It's a series of them. And your life can branch out from each one in a thousand different ways. Maybe there's a version of your life for all the choices you make and all the choices you don't.”
