Everything, Everything
Nicola Yoon, 2015
A girl allergic to the world falls for the boy next door—a sealed-room romance about risk, longing, and the cost of being safe.
Nicola Yoon
Nicola Yoon writes about love that has to push against something — a sealed room, a clock, a country's rules — and she keeps the pages light even when the stakes are high. Start with «Everything, Everything» for the girl who can't leave the house and the boy next door, or «The Sun Is Also a Star» for two teenagers crossing New York on a day that may be their last together. Both are quick, warm reads about risk and the people who make you want to take it.
Feels like longing, love and freedom.
Start with Everything, Everything.
Everything, Everything was Nicola Yoon's debut; it became a #1 New York Times bestseller and was adapted into a 2017 film.
The one day a year when everything you're missing becomes impossible to ignore.
My birthday is the one day of the year that we’re both most acutely aware of my illness. It’s the acknowledging of the passage of time that does it. Another whole year of being sick, no hope for a cure on the horizon. Another year of missing all the normal teenagery things—learner’s permit, first kiss, prom, first heartbreak, first fender bender. Another year of my mom doing nothing but working and taking care of me. Every other day these omissions are easy—easier, at least—to ignore. Books by Nicola Yoon
