Everything, Everything

The Bookworm says... Yes! Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon is such a great read. Maddy has Severe Combined Immunodeficiency, so she's basically allergic to everything. Because of this, she hasn't left her house in seventeen years. She hasn't even had a reason to desire leaving, until Olly moves in. She feels herself falling for him, and she hasn't even met him yet. If and when they do meet, Maddy knows she will be doomed with a love she can't tend to. 

This was such a great book. Maddy is clever and smart while being sheltered and naive at the same time. The email dialogue between Maddy and Olly is perfect, and gives the reader a more personal sense of relation with each character.

The Probability of Miracles

The Bookworm says... Yes! The Probability of Miracles by Wendy Wunder was a fantastic book! Campbell has cancer, and she has it bad. Neuroblastoma is practically incurable in teens and adults. The doctors tell her she needs a miracle. So, her mom decides they should move from Orlando to Promise, Maine where miracles are said to occur daily. From flamingos in winter and purple daffodils, it's hard for Cam to deny that there's something going on in this town. The mysterious boy Asher that keeps popping up in her life might have something to do with that. Cam has to overcome her doubt of all things supernatural, and see if that will be enough to save her from this disease that is holding the reins of her life.

This was a lovely book! Honestly, it was a cover buy. This cover is so beautiful and the reason I picked it up. I've been pleasantly surprised! Though a bit predictable and cliche, the character development/character qualities and the strange occurrences thought up in this book prove it to be a heartbreaking yet heartwarming tale of living with disease. 

"The present moment can be chopped up into infinitely smaller present moments. This moment is forever. And it is all that matters."
