"Everything, Everything" by Nicola Yoon: Book Review

I read 'Everything, Everything' by Nicola Yoon. A soulful and brave love story and family story. Trust me, even the cover page gave me goosebumps and curiosity into my blood.  One of my friends lent me this wonderful book. This is exactly the book you want to feel in your hands with rain outside and coffee nearby. Whenever I start to read any page of this book, it takes me so long to get out of the world in the story. It simply, majestically, takes us into their world.

Olly and Maddy

As the name suggests, this book shows us everything and everything about the world. How a minute thought can change your deeds, mindset, strength and courage. It reveals the actual beauty of people and the nature. The most beautiful relationship tries to protect each other- this has been shown in the book. It is a pleasant story of unusual happenings. I'm not supposed to give you spoilers though. So, just take this book and read. You'll feel both delicate and strong at the same time. You'll learn to value your life. You are gifted, truly blessed, you just don't recognise the blessings you have been bestowed upon.

Madeline and her Mother

Madeline is the central character of this story. It revolves around her mother, Carla the nurse, Olly the new neighbour and his family. But something more. The book is also enhanced with a lot of creativity and art. Designs and illustrations that flourish your mind with visual treat. What is experienced by Maddy is illustrated through art in the book. This is not just a book but an experience. Now 'Everything, Everything' is a major motion picture. I completed the book and now I'm looking forward to watch the movie. Nevertheless, I already watched the movie (in my mind) for that much is the talent of the author. Nicola Yoon will always be in the list of my favourite writers.

Maddy and Olly and the whole world. Take a tour around the world. You'll still remember Maddy and Olly.
With love,
