Weekly Reads: Everything Everything

Everything, Everything is Nicolas Yoon's debut novel. Everyone and their pug has already read this book, but I was at a point where I was sick of the "sick incurable disease teen trope" that was very prevalent in YA books at the time. I was also dealing with all of the real life incurable disease crap in my real life, so I didn't need anything added to it. Also this book was spoiled to me several different times. And YET here I am still reading it. I got asked to cover a co-worker's book club and this was the book on the schedule. I read it in 75 minutes, it was SUCH a fast read. And I loved it! Definitely one to pick up, I love Nicola Yoon's writing style and can't wait to see what else she comes up with.

My rating: 5 stars


Summary from goodreads:

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. He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly.

Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster.
