How would you cope if you were in Maddy's situation? Or if you were a mother of a child with SCID?ģ.

This is is probably the cutest, swoon-worthy romance I have read all year! My only regret is that I wish the book was longer! As a bonus the cover art is absolutely gorgeous! Those things blended together give the book a fun and energetic feel. The whole novel is a mixture of prose, poems, doodles/drawings, and Maddy’s random thoughts/charts.

I also liked that though Maddy feels trapped physically and emotionally she, for the most part, tries to keep a humorous and positive outlook on life.Įverything Everything has got a strong plot, a diverse writer and protagonist, as well as romance that is sweet and not over-saturated (or over the top). From the very beginning of the novel you are torn between wanting her to end up with Olly (the boy next door), but you don’t want her to risk her own health to do so. Upon first reading this book I immediately felt that Maddy’s story is somewhat bittersweet. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly.
