Quarter 3 SSR

     For this third quarter, I decided to read the novel Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon which is young adult fiction. The main character's name is Madeline Whittier who is 18 years old and has a disease known as immunodeficiency. This illness makes her immune system not be strong enough to fight any infections and easily get sick. Therefore, Madeline since a child has never stepped out of her house in order to not risk her life. Madeline's life was a cycle that never changed until she met a boy name, Oliver. This boy builds a desire in Madeline of wanting to see the real world and be part of it. Madeline became unsatisfied with what she had and could see, she wanted to step outside. Not to mention, that Oliver not only persuaded Madeline in an indirect way to step out of her bubble but also made her feel something that she had never felt before.

     I believe that this novel will still be remembered 100 years from now due to several reasons. Even though romantic books are very common, it has never been seen a romance that could not be developed due to a rare disease. A disease that makes the relationship between two people totally different from others. Not to mention, that it also makes their interaction unique. The way the book is formatted is another reason why I believe that this book is interesting. Every topic has a subtitle and its own page while the author also included some few sketched images in some places. This makes the novel more catchy and enthusiastic for the reader. However, what made this book be so valuable is that sudden twist and turn the author gives right around the end of the story. What amazed me the most was that this twist wouldn't have happened if only one event was destroyed, Madeline meeting Oliver. It all comes down to one person changing the life of a person and a whole story.
