Everything, Everything is a quick, adorable story about an eighteen-year-old girl who hasn't left her house since she was a baby. Madeline has an extremely rare immunodeficiency, a genetic disorder that renders her allergic to the world. Despite her isolation, Madeline has managed to stay content with her socially-minimalistic life, finding comfort in the company of her mother, her nurse, and the endless books piled high on her shelves.Then, a boy moves in next door, and everything changes. 
 This book has been on my radar for a while now, but what finally managed to get me off my ass and around to reading it was the casting of the film adaptation, starring Amandla Stenberg as Madeline and Nick Robinson as Olly. As a huge Robinson fan, I immediately needed to see what the fuss was about.The prose was beautiful, and the read itself quick. Madeline is the first female character of the year that I've honestly enjoyed, as well, and everything about her is fresh and reminiscent of springtime. Although not earth-shattering, or teeming with facts that will forever leave you looking at the world differently, the book offers a nice change of pace if you're looking for it; the chemistry between Maddy and Olly is a recipe for adorable with a side of adorable, and despite all of her ordeals, Madeline challenges them head-on, with the attitude and fight of a warrior. I may have seen the twist coming, but I would have never handled that curve with the (relative) ease that our heroine did. And Olly? He's a sweetheart.Madeline is the hero of this story. Not Olly. Olly hands her the keys to the door, but she opens it herself, and she goes much farther than down to the end of the driveway.
