A little bit of Everything,Everything

Last week I read the novel Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon. The genre of this book is young adult, meaning that it might be hard for young readers to understand. This book is about a 18 year old girl named Madeline Whitter who loves to read, but she was born with a really rare disease called SCID which in her own words is like “bubble baby disease” that makes her allergic to everything in the world. She can’t go outside, eat certain foods, touch certain things and have everything sanitary and disinfected well. Madeline hasn’t gone outside in 18 years, which is a very long time. She lives with her mom who is kind of like her doctor and her nurse Carla that checks her blood pressure, breaths per minute and room temperature. Madeline has always dreamt to go outside and explore the other half of the world beyond her house. Until this one day a new boy moved in next door to her house. His name was Oliver or Olly for short. The moment that she laid her eyes on him she instantly fell in love. Her mother always told her not to fall in love with someone because they would break your heart, but that didn’t really stop her. Madeline dreams that her life could just be perfect but, then she hears really bad confusing news that makes her feel so disappointed. You will have to read the book to find out what happens to Madeline. That is my favorite part of the book. The theme of this book would be adventurous because ever since Madeline was born she has always wanted to travel and explore the world by seeing the other half of the world and see what she was missing out of. I read the book then I watched the movie and I always  say that the book is always better than the movie. Everything, Everything in my own words is a really nice book if you are also into other books like The Fault in our Stars by John Green. Would you read this book or watch the movie? What would your life be like if you had SCID and could not leave your house?
