I wanted to read Everything, Everything after seeing it in my recommendations, and when I discovered that a library I visited had this, I immediately wanted to read it. I glanced at the blurb, making it seem like an intriguing read, despite its unoriginality. However, when I closed the final page, it was underwhelming.

It starts with the first person I see, Madeline, living at home for her entire life due to an illness making her allergic to the world. Everything looks typical at first until a new neighbour arrives, Olly. Nothing happens in the opening pages save for the slow relationship developments of Maddy and Olly. My most prominent gripes with Everything, Everything are the characters and plot. I couldn't connect or relate to any of them, even though Maddy has a crippling disease, and the plotline wasn't engaging. It was more monotonous and tedious to read than enthralling. I didn't like the decisions Maddy made as she escaped her home for the first time to meet Olly in person, and then went holidaying together.

Everything, Everything says, "The greatest risk is not taking one." I disagree. The greatest risk is a risk endangering one's life. Which is the risk Maddy took, which nearly cost her her life. I get that she doesn't want to be stuck at home all day, but she has a life-threatening illness. How can she risk her life so carelessly and recklessly? I don't get that. The plot twist is so contrived it's challenging to comprehend. Maddy didn't realise she never had an illness but her mother made her think that? I have no words to describe that. The conclusion wasn't great either as it petered out Everything, Everything. I wished I could've enjoyed this fictional composition, but alas, I did not.

Who knew? This was a Once Upon a Book Club book. And I didn't realize until it came in that it was a YA book...which I tend to try to stay away from. But I absolutely fell in love with this book. I read it in two days and can see picking this up again in a few years and rereading it. Even though the main character was in high school (I think she was a senior), it didn't write like YA at all. The only thing I wish was that it had a little more of the "seeing the future" in it. However, I'm not dinging the book for it. That's just me and I love a little futuristic-ness. But the way she saw all the love stories and how they ended. SPOILER: And then to see the boy she loved and the future that he was going to die. The whole theme of, it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all, is very strong and comes down to that decision in the end, since she knows he's going to die in 10 months (or 8 months), whatever it was. Anyway, just an amazing story. I thought it was going to be a silly little romance and it ended up being so much deeper than that. I really enjoyed the characters and their banter and how she was a little hard on the outside, but soft inside. The characters didn't feel young and didn't read like a YA. So glad I picked this one up!… (mer)

A charming read. A meet cute at a ballroom dance studio after the main character, Evie gets a brochure leading her to a dance studio and a sudden power to see the history & future of people's relationships when they kiss (compared to the novel Big by her friend Martin). Evie is soured on love after catching her dad cheating on her mom and their subsequent breakup. Her senior year sees her agreeing to a amateur ballroom competition with the warm, handsome X. The romance is lovely, and Evie's emotional journey throughout the book feels heartfelt.… (mer)
