Everything, Everything

Madeline 'Maddy' Whittier is a brilliant, curious, and imaginative 18-year-old, but she is also allergic to the world. Diagnosed with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), she has spent her entire life confined to her hermetically sealed house in Los Angeles, her only companions being her mother, a doctor, and her nurse, Carla. Her meticulously ordered life is turned upside down when a new family moves in next door, and Maddy catches the eye of their son, Olly. Through emails, texts, and eventually secret meetings, Maddy and Olly develop an intense connection that makes her question the boundaries of her sterile existence. As their love blossoms, Maddy finds herself craving the world outside, even if it means risking everything she has ever known. This powerful story explores first love, the longing for freedom, and the heartbreaking choices one must make to truly live.
