sooooo its been a crazy week. fall holiday, skipped my first class like ever (but lets not tell anyone about that) and i got a crap tone of books. the other one im reviewing (tone deaf) will be up soon but the other series (significance) im gonna finish the whole series before reviewing. so this book was fabulous. love love love. so nicola yoon aka my new hero wrote this single book story that made me want to go live life. but im getting ahead of myself let me catch you up. so everything, everything is single book story about a girl named madeline who has SCID which is severe combine immune deficiency disease more commonly known as bubble baby syndrome. basically she is allergic to everything and has never left her house (which is air locked and perfectly clean) the only people who see her are her mom and her nurse carla. so shes perfectly chill with this lifestyle she reads, draws, takes online school, and entertains herself all day everyday UNTIL she gets a cute new neighbor who makes her want more from life than she can have. now i absolutely loved this book my only critique is that it ended so soon. i wish it was a series because i want to follow these characters to the end of the earth. so olly (cute new neighbor) is such an amazing character like if a boy like that knocked on my door and said come take a risk with me you already know what im doin. takin a freakin risk. she honestly throws caution to the wind and yells yolo and hopes for the best and it made me want to take risks or be in a video montage dancing around all tumblr like and living life. don't judge me please. the main message behind this story is literally carpe diem, yolo, and/or oh screw it. these characters grabbed the bull by the horns and that's what you will want to do post reading this. there are lots of pictures so this took me about three hours to finish she draws a lot of things like charts for her life or plans or just anything i mean the chick has TONES of free time. anyways her doodles are cute and its a nice touch. if you want to appreciate life this book will make you i swear. its a super quick read so id recommend it for road trips or just down times its not a difficult read with the doodles and short paragraphs. now when i picked up this book i was expecting a coming of age story nothing crazy got ear the end of it its cute its good and then probably the best part of the book occurs. THE PLOT TWIST. OH MY SWEET HOLY ALIEN BABIES EVERY WHERE THE PLOT TWIST IS SO BEAUTIFUL. i mean definitely one of the best plot twists i have ever read and you don't see it coming AT ALL. like holy poop. im still getting the after shocks every time i think about it. so in short i love this book like a small child and you NEED to read it. please. i beg you.
thanks for reading
