Oh man, that was amazing. I loved it: the characters, the feels, the writing. So beautiful. I preordered a finished copy because honestly c'mon look at that cover. I love books with emails/IMs/pictures/etc. inside; this was such a quick read between those and the short chapters. So, so glad I read this.

 Full review: 
 I totally, totally loved this. Is it bad that I spent the entire time thinking about Bubble Boy though? I'm just glad the main character of this book was a little less (okay, a LOT less) weird than Bubble Boy. Otherwise, a looot of the elements were the same... 
 I absolutely looove books that have emails and images and IM conversations... anything that has that sort of element is going to be a-okay in my book. This was so fast and easy to read, because of the aforementioned elements and the incredibly short chapters. Love me some short chapters. Aside from all that fun stuff, the writing was kind of gorgeous. 
 "You can't predict the future. It turns out that you can't predict the past either. Time moves in both directions - forward and backward - and what happens here and now changes them both." 
 The story follows Madeline, a girl with SCID - it basically means she has to live in a bubble-type environment (her completely sterile house) so she doesn't get sick and die quickly. Her mother and her nurse are the only people who see her... until she meets the new neighbor, Olly. Sigh. So cute. The two of them start talking right away and eventually the nurse sneaks him into the house. Their relationship was adorable and heartbreaking, because you wonder if/how it'll ever work. 
 I loved her nurse, Carla, because she was so supportive of Madeline in everything she did. Even more so than her mother. Olly's family issues were not majorly a part of the book; it was really an internal battle within Madeline. They could have been given a little more attention. Otherwise, this book was pretty perfect for me. 
 "I was trying so hard to find the single pivotal moment that set my life on its path. The moment that answered the question, 'How did I get here?' 
 But it's never just one moment. It's a series of them. And your life can branch out from each one in a thousand different ways. Maybe there's a version of your life for all the choices you make and all the choices you don't." 
 Madeline had such a great attitude about everything. She was pretty okay with her life and the way she had to live until she got a little taste of the world beyond her walls. I was really impressed by her. She felt like she made some reckless decisions in the middle-end, but I fully supported everything she did and felt. I loved it. It was beautiful. 
 I had a big feeling about the ending, but I don't want to spoil anything. Anyone else who has read it: what did you think of the end? I feel like there could be a mixed bags of reactions for it!
