Book review: Everything, Everything.

Non-spoiler review alert 🚨
Everything, everything. A 2015 young adult fiction, contemporary novel; adapted into a movie on 2017 with Amandla Stenberg as Maddy and Nick Robinson playing Olly Bright. A traumatized mother struggles after her husband’s and son’s passing-away news as keeping her only left daughter shielded and fully disinfected becomes her recently devoted purpose. Madeline Whittier, an 18-year-old curly-haired girl who has unintentionally never had the opportunity to go through the teenage problematic life is being treated for the “bubble baby disease”, that is a severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) which prevents her from living normally like any human being in which she lives sealed-off at home in Los Angeles and entirely sterilized. Nothing more important to her mother and her beloved maid, Carla. With SCID, one should remain decontaminated as their immune system is proven to be absent which leads to viral, bacterial, fungal infection and may cause death when exposed to any unsterilized environment. On the night Madeleine had the alien invasion dream, she woke up to the Bright’s family arrival which would be a trigger warning to almost all of her subsided senses. The neighbourhood guy, Oliver Bright, is a brown 19-year-old tall guy with eyes as blue as the Pacific Ocean and he would be why Maddy wore her heart on her sleeve and put her life at stake. I bet you’ll hear the song “Bird Set Free” for Sia echoing at a distant in your ears.
