Risk everything . . . for love.What if you couldńt touch anything in the outside world? Never breathe in the fresh air, feel the sun warm your face . . . or kiss the boy next door? In Everything, Everything, Maddy is a girl whós literally allergic to the outside world, and Olly is the boy who moves in next door . . . and becomes the greatest risk shés ever taken. My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, Ím allergic to the world. I dońt leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla. But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He's tall, lean and wearing all blacḱblack T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly. Maybe we cańt predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It́s almost certainly going to be a disaster.
