Find this review on The StoryGraph. 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. 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.

From the book jacket: 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.
My reactions:
This YA romance had some significant serious issues to discuss. Can love (even teenage love) conquer all? Yoon certainly makes a good case.
I really liked Maddy (Madeline Whittier). She’s intelligent and mostly serene. She’s come to accept her very limited world and hasn’t really “missed” what she can’t have. Until now, of course. Olly is more complex and guarded. His family situation is fraught with drama and it’s understandable that he’d want to keep some things to himself. Still …
What starts as messages taped to windows, and progresses to texting and IMing, must inevitably lead to meeting in person. Each of these teens has some significant issues to deal with on their own, and sharing their struggles brings them closer together. They come to trust in and support one another in a very nice, somewhat naïve way. Of course, things can’t possibly go smoothly for these star-crossed lovers.
There were some things that bothered me in the plot, mostly dealing with the reality of how things might happen. But I was willing to go along for the ride because I really liked both Maddy and Olly. I guessed the big secret ahead of the reveal, but still liked how Yoon handled it. And I liked the way these teens interacted with one another and their families.
Bahni Turpin and Robbie Daymond do an excellent job of voicing the audiobook. They really brought these teens to life for me. I’m glad, however, that I had the text handy, which includes a number of illustrations which just don’t translate well to audio format. ( )
