SYNOPSIS: My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t 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 black—black 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 can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster. Rating: 5/5
This was spectacular! First of all: THERE ARE PICTURES!! I didn't know that before starting it, so I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least. I feel like way too few YA books have pictures these days so I'm LIVING for the pictures in this book. They also made for a nice reading break, making it much easier to get through quickly. The pictures were so cute as well! Of course I really liked the story too. I liked Olly a lot, as way too many YA love interests are secretely jerks when you look at them a bit too long. Olly was genuinely nice and trying his hardest to do the right thing. Maddie and him are cute together and although I did think that Maddie fell for him a bit too hard (she immediately seemed to forget about everything else), I suppose that's what teenage love is like. At least Olly was worth it. I loved Carla. She was kind of like a second mother to Maddie, who seemed to care just a tad more about Maddie's feelings than her own mother did, who seemed to mostly be focused on Maddie's health because she couldn't bear life without her. I LOVED the ending. It was so original and unexpected, without feeling like a deus-ex-machina. Excellent writing. Overall, a new favourite of mine, with extra bonus points because of the pictures!
