Q4 week 1 free post - reading response

For my independent reading book, I am currently reading "Everything Everything" by Nicola Yoon. This book is by far one of my favorite books I have read this year. The main character, Maddy, has a disease in which she cannot go outside. Maddy cannot experience the world for herself until one day everything changes. A boy named Olly moves in across the street and Maddy falls in love. She wishes she could see him all the time and do things in the world outside with him all the time. 

One day, this all changes. Maddy decides to go outside. In the middle of the night she writes a goodbye letter to her mother and leaves the house. She goes to Olly's and they pack up and leave to go on a trip to Hawaii. Maddy has been wanting to see the ocean her entire life and now she finally will get to. The author lets the readers feel like they are right there in the plot with the characters by using imagery and giving lots of vivid detail. I am excited to finish this book and see if Maddy will survive.
