Review:
I received a copy from Netgalley.
There are certain books that you know you are going to fall in love with before you've finished the first chapter. For me, this was one of those books.
Maddy is a unique character, a girl who's been inside her whole life due to a very rare disease which makes her basically allergic to the outside world. She's home schooled through on line courses, the only contact she has with people is her Mom and her nurse, Carla. She reads books, does her school work, watches movies, plays games with her mom. She seems pretty content under the circumstances. Until a new family moves in next door, including good looking Oliver, who is Maddy's age.
This story was just wonderful. The characters all feel very real, the dialogue is a joy, and feels very authentic and believable. Oliver and Maddy's relationship is a very slow development but its just brilliant to read. This book has pretty much everything I look for in a contemporary romance. Great chemistry between the characters, a romance that is worked for and enjoyable. Twisty drama, without being over the top. There were parts of it that did get a bit silly and a tad bit unbelievable, but its pretty easy to overlook if you're enjoying the story.
Its very emotional, it made me grin, it made me squee, it made me cry my eyes out. It was very predictable in the plot, I figured out the twist at the end well before the half way point, but that didn't matter because it was such a beautifully written book. Wonderful book. Highly recommended.
Huge thanks to Netgalley and Penguin Random House Children's Publishers.
