"Spoiler alert: You don't exist if no one can see you" ( Yoon 246).

I love this quote because it speaks volumes on how Maddie feels for the past 17 years and the fact that people don't even know she exists.

I 100% agree with this review. This review also does not go half way. They give the percentage of the topics that the book goes through like mature content, the message, the educational value, etc. The site gives the children and parents' opinion of the book. They give the summary of the book and tell the parents what they need to know about this book.

What parents need to know

What's the story?

In EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING, Madeline Whittier is a self-described "bubble baby," which means she suffers from a rare disease called SCID, or severe combined immunodeficiency. She hasn't left her house in 17 years, and anyone who comes in must go through an airlock and long sanitation process before entering the contaminant-free home. Her brother and father were killed in accident when she was a baby, so her only relationships are with her mother and her nurse, Carla. Madeline is calm and accepting of her isolated life, reading books, taking classes online, and playing games with her mom. That changes when Olly moves in next door. They catch each other's eyes through the window, and through a series of pebble throwing and messages on windows, they strike up a friendship over the Internet and eventually fall in love. For the first time in her life, Madeline wants more than her safe, sanitized existence can give her. She struggles to decide whether it's worth risking her life to experience it fully. Her physical and emotional journey reveals much about who she is and the lives of those she loves.

Great Book!

This was a great book. It was not only funny and smart but it was also surprising and heartbreaking in a way. Any mature tween or teen can read this. There is few curse words and only tiny parts that could potentially be inappropriate but it is defiantly worth it because this book is wonderful. I highly suggest you read it!

An Emotional Ride

This is a fabulous story where you feel what the character is going through. The book has great messages about living your life, taking risks, and forgiveness. There is sex in the book, written with quite a bit of detail, meaning I do not think it is appropriate for anyone younger than 15 to read.

Simply wonderful!

This book can definitely go down on my list for best books of all time! When I first got it I thought it would be a cheap copy of the fault in our stars. Boy was I wrong! this is a wonderful story about a girl named Madeline she has a disease that won't let her leave her house the new neighbors move in and she almost immediately knows she will fall in love with the boy next door. SUPER HUGE TWIST AT THE END never saw it coming.

“prom·ise (ˈpräməs) n. pl. - es. 1. The lie you want to keep. [2015, Whittier]” (Yoon 194).

This quote is a  very close second to my first favorite. It always reminds me how so many people say they will keep a promise to a person but they always end up breaking it, even when they didn't want to.
