insert long sigh

I used to like this book. I really did. Until near the end. The twist Suprise, Suprise! She not sick! Even though it was so obvious from the beginning, especially when she went to Hawaii with Olly. Honestly, the twist ruined the point and mystery of the romance. Not only that, it's kind of an insult to people who actually have SCIDS. I mean, here it is, finally, a nice, pretty book about their rare diease, then bam! It was all a lie, she isn't sick! Very insulting and a slap in the face to those with SCID. Yet, despite all it's flaws, this is not a bad book and I recommended it to people that absolutely love books like The Selection and A Thousand pieces of You.Pros•I like that there are drawing in this book.•I do like the fluffy feeling gives you (or used to gave me.)•The cover is pretty•Maddy is biracial, she's Black/African-American/Asian-American•Maddy and Olly are a interracial coupleCons •The "twist"•Maddy and Olly have underage sex.Favorite Character: Chocolate Bundt CakeThe bundt was the only thing that saved this book. What was that thing made out of?! Least Favorite Character: Maddy I rate Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon three out of five stars.

Good quick read

“Inima.
Mi.
Se.
Opreşte.
Şi porneşte din nou.”
Aşa m-am simţit pe tot parcursul cărţii. Să spun că mi-a plăcut e aproape o minciună, pentru că am adorat cartea asta. Deşi am auzit numai lucruri de bine despre ea, am deschis-o cu puţină neîncredere. Sufeream de un reading slump îngrozitor, nimic nu mi se părea potrivit, dar apoi am luat cartea asta în mână şi n-am mai vrut să o mai pun jos. M-au fascinat efectiv, pe lângă poveste, şi personajele, care mi s-au părut atât de vii, atât de autentice. Trebuie să recunosc că uneori mi se păreau anumite gesturi făcute de protagonistă, Maddy, puţin exagerate, dar luând în considerare felul în care a fost crescută, nici nu are rost să îi critic deciziile. Olly, care e al nostru love interest în povestea asta, a fost cel despre care încă mă întreb dacă mie mi-a plăcut, sau e doar influenţa persoanei întâi din naraţiune. Totuşi, luat per ansamblu, da, au fost momente în care suspinam dramatic şi visătoare de fiecare dată când cei doi interacţionau şi mi-a plăcut cu adevărat relaţia lor. Cartea m-a captivat atât de tare încât citeam oriunde şi oricând apucam. M-a scos din reading slump şi mi-a reamintit cât de mult înseamnă puterea cuvintelor, cât de multe poţi învăţa din greşeli şi, mai ales, că viaţa e un dar şi trebuie trăită.
Să nu mai zic de citate, pline de expresivitate, care mi-au plăcut şi acestea enorm, făcându-mă chiar să revin la ele după terminarea unui capitol şi să le notez.
“Atenţie, spoiler: Dragostea înseamnă totul. Totul. “
Finalul cărţii este unul la fel de frumos pe cât mă aşteptam, deşi am stat cu sufletul la gură pe tot parcursul cărţii şi în acelaşi timp intuiam cam ce se va întâmpla, înşelându-mă de câteva ori. M-a lăsat cu zâmbetul pe buze şi cu speranţa că, indiferent de ce îi rezervă viitorul, Maddy îşi va trăi viaţa în felul ei şi va profita din plin de aceasta, deoarece o merită şi mă simt oarecum apropiată de acest personaj.
În cele din urmă, pentru mine a fost o lectură sfâşietoare, amuzantă exact când simţeai nevoia de aşa ceva, o poveste incredebilă despre minciună, libertate, încredere, tragedie şi, evident, dragoste. Pentru că dragostea este totul.
“La început, a fost nimicul. Iar apoi a fost tot.”

I wanted to love this book and I wonder if I would have had I read it at sixteen. As an adult I can take it with a grain of salt and see past the underlying and probably accidental lesson.

(slight spoiler)

This girl literally is content doing nothing forever, until an interesting boy comes along and makes her long for more. Teenage girls don't need to be saved by teenage boys. Worse, real life teenage boys suck. Call me bitter but I couldn't get around the constant hopeful tone that this dream boy was everything she ever needed.

Past that, this book was interesting and still worth the read.

I AM SPEECHLESS AFTER READING THIS BOOK.

Everything everything was a book overhyped, I had high high expectations about it and the book was only okey, I didn't expect to be an amazing book but I though it was better than it was. The plot is good specially at the end, I didn't like instalove but this time I didn't care XD
This books is great to have fun and read in the middle of huge books and nothing more :/

Though parts of this book seemed a little far-fetched, overall I enjoyed the story. To me, Everything Everything wasn't a romance novel, but a story of a lonely girl who dreams of seeing the world, but is stuck inside her own home. Watching her try to live life for the first time, trying to decide if her life really is a life, throughout this book really broke my heart.

I still enjoyed the romance, however. In some reviews, people seem to complain a lot about how it's very instalovey, and I do agree with that. Usually, I despise a book that contains such a overused trope, but it worked for me in this book. Madeline has been isolated her entire life, and Olly was pretty much the first person her age she's ever met. Of course she's going to fall in love with him.

A solid 4 star book, but one I'd still recommend.

This story had an interesting premise about a girl who can never leave her house because of an immune disorder. She then falls in love with the next door neighbor. Madeline the main character is full of want because she never leaves her home. Olly, the boy next door, and her become friends. I liked that Madeline was not your average girl in the bloom of first love character.

SpoilerI did call that the mother had some sort of Munchasen by proxy thing going. I knew she wasn't making her child ill like in the classic Munchasen by proxy situation but I called early on in the book that Madeline wasn't truly ill and did not have an immunodeficency and her mother was mentally ill and making up her disease. This might be because I did a paper a long time ago about Munchasen by proxy that I could spot signs the author was dropping about Madeline's mom not causing her illness but definitely saying the illness existed when it didn't really.

Interesting premise and first love story.

I didn't read as much fiction in 2015 as I wished, so I wanted to start 2016 out with some good fiction reads. Oh my, did I ever hit the jackpot with Everything Everything.

Are you a person (like me) who enjoys sobbing along with a story? Everything Everything is the book for you.

I'd heard lots and lots of wonderful reviews but I almost passed on this one, scathingly thinking, Just another teen read. Don't make the same assumption. If you haven't read this one, go get a copy today.

There was nothing, nothing that I disliked about Nicola Yoon's debut novel! (See what I did there?) It is a quirky, delightful and heartbreaking read that is so varied, so interesting, and so original that I simply couldn't put it down! The writing style (complete with illustrations created by the author's husband, David) is uncomplicated and refreshing, but the adorable relationship between Maddy and Olly is what really won me over. Fans of John Green, Jennifer Niven and Jodi Picoult will surely love Everything, Everything... as will most people with a beating heart.

How could I not read a book where my namesake provides the frankly wonderful illustrations that add to the story. And man, I think I get the allure of YA. Done well, the ability of an author to capture that moment of first love is thrilling. Eleanor and Park did it so well and Nicola Yoon manages it with assured deftness here. And biracial protagonist FTW! For me there's a larger story of what it is to be a parent and the wholehearted love and abject fear that attends that responsibility. (And unlike Eleanor & Park it has the most satisfying of endings)

More like 3.5 stars. Although this book is wonderful I didn't connect with it like I though I would have.

*3.5 STARS.

Love love love love love.

Unique story about a girl who essentially lives in a bubble because she is allergic to everything in the outside world. Maddy lives a monotonous life, the only people she sees being her mother and her nurse, until a boy moves in next door. They begin their relationship through emails and IMs, leaving Maddy to want more out of life than what may ever be possible for her. Maddy and Olly's relationship was sweet, and I was rooting for them to find a way to somehow be together despite their circumstances.

This book was a quick read and also has a lot of cute drawings throughout that added to the story. Highly recommend.

This was everything I needed after all my fantasy and paranormal reading. Everyone should have this on their TBR.

I do no give four stars lightly. I loved this book. Loved it. The list of WHY I loved it is LONG: the voice, the incredible strength of the characters, the male protagonist who has a great, caring personality (so very rare in YA Lit), the surprise ending, and more, more, more. Halfway through this book, I started researching Bubble Boy Syndrome. I really cared about these characters and resented having to put the book down to go to work today! For me this is a MUST read for 2015, and this is coming from someone who dislikes romance novels. This is so much more than a romance novel, and it will soothe the hearts of The Fault in Our Stars fans. Great read.

hay muy pocos libros que en realidad pueden expresar lo que es para algunos leer, ese escape de la realidad. La necesidad de escapar de la realidad.

Me gustó todo, todo.
