What this book is about
Madeline has SCID — severe combined immunodeficiency — which means she lives in a sealed environment and has never been outside. When Olly moves in next door, they communicate through windows and texts. Everything, Everything is Nicola Yoon's debut novel — a short, propulsive YA romance with a significant twist that reframes everything that came before.
