Book Review of Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon


      “You're not living if you're not regretting.” 



I guess it’s never too late to write a book review, or maybe until it’s adapted into a movie. I guess!
I am talking about the book ‘Everything, Everything’ by Nicola Yoon which became the much talked and much-awaited film which was adapted from its original fiction work. The book was published in 2015, and the movie was released this year i.e. 2017, so on the onset of the movie trailer, people were intrigued to find out more about the book before the movie came out. The same applied to me too; I was curious to read the book before catching the movie.

Somehow I am more absorbed in books which are adapted into a movie, who isn’t? You are just interested to find out how the director changes the scene sequence or the line printed on a page into a screenplay. I bought the book only after I saw the trailer of the movie (honest confession). Luckily, the book got me hooked from the start.

Everything, Everything is a debut novel by Nicola Yoon, the story is about an 18 years old girl named Madeline Whittier who is allergic to the outside world. She is suffering from SCID, an immuno-deficiency disease that prevents her from going outside her room and interacting with others. She has never left her house in seventeen years. Her Mum along with the help of a nurse take care of her. She lives in her own bubble because of her sickness, but she longs to see the outside world. “The book is about the thrill and heartbreak that happens when we break out of our shell to do crazy, sometimes death-defying things for love.”

Madeline’s life is changed after a family moves next door and she meets Olly, a boy who wears only black and do parkour as if he was some light object. Both of the teen's exchange email and things turn entirely different as they start liking each other. Madeline decided to risk her life to face the outside world (Which she always wanted to) because she thinks she is in love with Olly and love is worth Everything, Everything. It is a story with a strong message of love and more about loving every single second of your life.

Maybe you should grab a copy now and find out what 'Love' can make you do, risking your own life and doing the impossible. As a matter of fact, the movie has done justice to the book, You will get the whole point if you have read the book.
You could be wrong if you think this is one of those, ‘Fault in our Stars’ kind of book. Trust me, it’s different, and you will surely love it.

Book Review: I’ve Never Been (Un)Happier by Shaheen Bhatt

About the book Lights, Camera . . . Inaction Unwittingly known as Alia Bhatt’s older sister, screenwriter and fame-child Shaheen Bhatt has been a powerhouse of quiet restraint—until now. In a sweeping act of courage, she now invites you into her head. Shaheen was diagnosed with depression at eighteen, after five years of already living with it. In this emotionally arresting memoir, she reveals the daily experiences and debilitating big picture of one of the most critically misinterpreted mental illnesses in the twenty-first century.

Reading in Quarantine- #Birthdaybloghop

Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people – people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.” – E.B. White With the Coronavirus crisis and most of the nation quarantined inside the comfort of their homes, I can presume all the bookworms silently rejoicing, not that the world is coming to a standstill (that would be rude), but because of the reason that we will have all the possible time in the world to be reading and ticking off our TBR lists (Not precisely though). At least we thought we will have all the possible time in the world to read and read till our eyes are sore, but guess that remind yet another excuse of, ‘maybe, I will start reading tomorrow.' And, one would probably be asking, ‘why read? when we have other things to keep ourselves engaged. There are so many other things to do and catch up with- for instance, binge-watching book adapted series, attending zoom calls, video calling old friends to ch...
