Book of the Month: July

Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon

Everything Everything is yet another book that I read in one sitting. Even on the front, Jennifer Niven has put "Heart-Wrenching, I devoured it in one sitting", and that is exactly what I did. I sat and read this, I didn't use the toilet, I didn't eat, I didn't drink. I could not put it down, it is a complete page turner.

This book is about a girl named Maddie who is severely allergic to the world. She hasn't left the house in 17 years. She has only really ever had a close relationship with her mum and their family nurse. One day a guy moves in next door to her called Oli, another male lead who I really really liked. Old wants to find a way to get close to this girl who just refuses to acknowledge the rest of society.

It is a really great story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a book that explores the extremes people will go to when people are in love, and it's just told so beautifully and descriptively, you definitely feel as if you are in this world with the characters. I also loved the use of communication in here, there are emails sent back and forth, as a lot of their friendship is built online due to her lack of leaving the house. You see text messages they send, notes they pass each other, and there are little drawings she uses and nuggets of education in there as well which I really did like. I loved the ending and again needed to speak to someone ASAP about it.
