4.5 stars.

I just loved this book. Okay. It was great. I read this entire book in one sitting in the middle of the night which isn't that impressive because it was pretty short but seriously this book was that good. I loved how this had many artwork from I believe Nicola Yoon's husband which is A. really cool and B. allowed a different type of element to the story. I loved how they both added these little doodles that allowed me to understand and enjoy the book just that much more. Especially wh 4.5 stars.

I loved how they both added these little doodles that allowed me to understand and enjoy the book just that much more. Especially when the book ended with a specific picture that changes everything. It was a great way to add more character to the story and I loved it. And about that ending.. Wow totally caught me off guard completely unexpected.

The main character, Madeline I found to be very calming. Being in her thoughts and presence made me feel so much more thankful of life and its beauty in a good way. I appreciated the way she loved life due to her boundary from it. Not only that but she is diverse, so diverse that even in reality and real life that mix, Japanese African American would be so different and unique. I especially loved that her race wasn't an issue. She didn't even try to come to terms with it. She is how she is and it wasn't even something to worry about.

The more I read about coming of age stories or realistic fiction whatever you wanna call them the more I fall in love with them. Because my favorite part about this was how Madeline evolved. If I had to be completely honest most of those 4.5 stars was just Madeline finding her way across life and her illness and not really the romance. To be a hundred percent honest I thought the romance was way too rushed. It wasn't instalove exactly because it wasnt where they met they are in love but more they slowly met they slowly become friends they slowly become more than friends and very quickly out of nowhere super rushed they are saying I love you and all that and I found it too unrealistic except I have come to terms to the fact that due to her illness it does play a role on why they reacted like that.

Nonetless, I was throughly delighted by this. I heard Nicola Yoon has another book coming out which I will be more than excited to read. ...more

I read this so quickly. It was so fast paced and had short chapters and drawings (my favorites.)

I did not see the plot twist coming at all? But I always wasn't too shocked by it, if that makes any sense.

I loved Maddy, Olly, and Carla so much.

I just wish the ending wasn't so abrupt.

Anyway, I can't wait to watch the movie!

Overall, a great fast-paced book about love, the meaning of life, and taking chances. ...more

This was more like a 3.75 for me. I really did enjoy the writing style and the way the chapters are set out, but something about this book just felt like such a cliche to me.

I enjoyed the elements of illness and mental illness, I liked our main protagonist (even though I didn't agree with half of her choices) and the love interest was very cute.

I don't know if it's because I read Me Before You this year and found it utterly heartbreaking that this book fell a little flat for me. There was some ...more

I AM A MESS OF EMOTIONS. Holy cow I did not expect this book to affect me this much.

I picked this up because I heard it was a about a girl with allergies, and having a food allergy myself, I was quite intrigued. But Madeline has an immune efficiency disorder that prevents her from leaving her house. The outside world could kill her. So, she stays inside her house with her mother and nurse, Carla. Then one day, Madeline's world is turned upside down when a boy named Olly moves in next door.
