Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING by Nicola Yoon is everything a middle grade novel should be. It is clever, smart, poignant, authentic and uses social media in a wonderfully zany way. Plus, it is such a compelling story-18 year old Madeline's story of an illness that has kept her home in the most unusually sanitary conditions with a nurse and sometimes with a tutor, since her illness requires her not to be exposed to any germs. This seclusion is easy to keep, until the boy next door moves in-tall, lean, wearing all black-as cute as can be. Olly threatens her equilibrium and turns her world upside down, and I would write so much more about this brilliant and beautiful book, if it weren't a spoiler alert; read it; you won't be disappointed. Plus, it will soon be a movie, so read it first!
