The book tells the story of a creative, intelligent, and witty 18 year old girl named Maddy who has a disease called SCID that makes her allergic to just about everything, including the sun. Maddy lives a very different life than most teens since she is not able to attend school, go outside during the day, or hang out with friends. She forms a connection with a boy named Olly who had recently moved to the house next door and communicated with him through their windows and electronics. Olly and Maddy decide to risk everything so they can be together.
I would recommend this book because the plot is very unique and interesting. It allowed me to understand that not everyone has the privilege of doing typical thing like going to the beach with friends. This book is also completely unexpected which makes it an even more interesting read. This book has definitely inspired me to take advantage of every moment and take risks because that is what makes life fun and interesting. After finishing the book, it was also amazing to watch the movie and compare it to the book.
