Our view
“Everything, Everything” is a quick, warm first-love story whose heroine wins readers over almost at once. Madeline, eighteen and confined to her house by an immune disorder, is funny and thoughtful company, and the book is at its best inside her head. Some find the romance rushed, and the ending divides opinion, with some seeing the twist coming and feeling short-changed. It is written for teenagers, and they are the readers it serves best.
