Body
EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING by Nicola Yoon, Madeline suffers from a rare and famous
disease called SCID. She calls it 'bubble baby disease' because she lives in a metaphorical bubble;
she’s not allowed to leave her house. The only people she socializes with are her mother and her
nurse, Carla. Her days are a dull repetition of virtual school, Phonetic Scrabble and conversations
about books with Carla.

Conclusion
In the following weeks, Madeline grows more independent. She books a flight to New York to go see Olly, this
time with her mother’s knowledge. She texts him that she’s leaving him a present at a local bookshop. She hides
in another aisle in order to surprise him, then they joyfully reunite and (it is implied) restart their romance.
