Genre: YA
Rating: 4/5
# pages: 320

Madeline Whittier is allergic to the outside world. So allergic, in fact, that she has never left the house in all of her seventeen years. But when Olly moves in next door, and wants to talk to Maddie, tiny holes start to appear in the protective bubble her mother has built around her. Olly writes his IM address on a piece of paper, shows it at her window, and suddenly, a door opens. But does Maddie dare to step outside her comfort zone?
This book blew me away, yet I hardly know what to write about it. It hurt my heart to read, and I was totally emotionally exhausted after finishing it.
The book covers topics not often seen in YA, and thus gave an interesting take on the usual "girl meets boy" formula. However, while I loved most of it (even if it did break my heart), I thought the ending too abrupt, and leaving too many questions behind. I didn't feel like there was any proper closure - not for Madeline, and consequently, not for the reader either.
That's my only complaint about the book though. I loved the plot, loved the characters and I loved the illustrations throughout the book - they really added to its charms.
