I was expecting insta-love, and amateur written angst and romantic moments. The romance between Olly and Madeline was less cliché than I thought it was going to be. Time moves in both directions–forward and backward–and what happens here and now changes both. It turns out that you can’t predict the past either. Olly’s Math says you can’t predict the future. His fascination by math is also super attractive and he’s just the best BBF I have come across. He was a little bit too trusting at one point, when Madeline says she got a pill to help with her illness, so now they can go off to Hawaii!! but I’m going to write it off as his love for Madeline blinded him from the truth? Or, he just really really wanted it to be true. I love the parkour addiction he has, and the way he can’t sit still. Olly is super sweet and waits for Madeline. His cockiness was endearing, he made me melt and I found him utterly attractive because of it. Olly is the one of the best male character I’ve come across in YA fiction. She’s lovable, and quirky and oddly relatable in the ways of a teenage girl, especially when dealing with her growing attraction to Olly. Being inside her head in a world of ultimate protection is interesting. I laughed out loud so many times, and melted at the main character’s personality. He’s in constant motion.Įvery time I think of this book, I get so giddy. I think of Olly, decontamination-cold and waiting for me. It was extremely effective in telling Madeline’s story as I could see there could have been very blah if it weren’t for this unique format. There were even one-lined chapters! This is one of the characteristics why this book stands out to me. We follow Madeline’s story through text messages, doctor’s notes, emails, lists, dictionary definitions and regular chapters from her POV.
The format of the book gave short, entertaining and unique chapters that kept the story going. Recommended to me by a close friend, I’m so happy I picked this up. This is such a feel-me-good book and Nicola Yoon has become an automatic buy. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things.
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. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla.īut then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. It’s simple yet not and I think it really reflects Madeline’s life Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance, FictionĬover Love: Symbolic, and so beautiful.
