Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

Maddie is allergic to the world, confined to her house with her mum and nurse, Carla. Until the boy next door moves in and catches her eye and he becomes a huge focus of her attention.

As they talk on IM and see each other through their room windows, eventually she sways Carla to allow him into the house so long as they stay on separate sides of the room, the day room filled with fake trees and makes their lives seem more normalized than they are.

It's there that they touch, kiss and practice handstands together happily.

Yet nothing good lasts forever, heartbroken by her mum finding out and sacking Carla, Maddie finds herself lost a lot more as she watches Oli's life carry on from her window as his father's alcohol abuse gets a lot, lot worse.

As she copes with losing Oli and having a horrible new nurse she makes a drastic plan which leads to her being admitted to hospital where she finds out the truth about herself...

Wow, the hype is totally worth it for this one, I was hooked and read it in one go unable to put it down. The condition Maddie suffers from made me want to read on as she and I believed her in grave danger, just don't take the situations at face value...
