What do you think makes young adult novels so popular? When a very cute boy (Olly) moves in next door, she begins to question the life she’s known, and a complicated romance develops between them. She hasn’t left it in all of her seventeen years. What this means is that she’s basically allergic to the world and is unable to leave her house. Madeline has a form of a rare immune system disease. My new-mom protective instincts were going nuts! It got me thinking: What if there was a girl who needed constant protection, not just as a baby but for her whole life? What would that do to the relationship between the girl and her mom? What would happen when that girl got older and started wanting to form other relationships?Ĭan you please explain to us Madeline’s disease/disorder, and how would you say it shaped her character in this novel? I was a new mom, and I worried about everything! I worried about her getting a cold or eating dirt or falling and bumping her head. I started writing Everything, Everything when my daughter was just four months old. You know how much I loved Everything, Everything, and that cover is life! What inspired you to write the book, and why Everything, Everything for your title? Everything, Everything is about the thrill and heartbreak that happens when we break out of our shell to do crazy, sometimes death-defying things for love.
