Review: Everything, Everything

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Yes, it was good. The characters felt authentic and there was only really one circumstance that I felt was too predictable and contrived for how tender and understated the story had been up to that point. I'm in the camp of people who think that when she decides to throw chance to the wind and live life to the fullest by (ahem, *spoiler*) experiencing teenage sex that it really just cheapened the story instead of sweetening it. But it still wasn't written in a crude or offensive way, so there is that. The twist at the end I thought was clever and added a dimension of humanity to the whole circumstance. Because it reminds us to find vulnerability and tenderness in everybody, instead of overlooking those qualities in the ones we don't expect to have them.
