Page #: 320
Subjects/Categories: Contemporary, Realistic Fiction
My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla. But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly. Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster (Goodreads)
Review/Thoughts
This debut novel is a great contemporary read in the vein of "Eleanor and Park" by Rainbow Rowell. This novel has a beautiful artistic images throughout that perfectly illustrate the evolution of Madeleine's mood. If you like realistic contemporary, stories about families and romance I would check this book out!
