\"Everything,<\/a>*STARRED REVIEW<\/strong>
\nNicola Yoon<\/a>\u2019s superb debut begins and ends with books. Stories are how 18-year-old Madeline has survived with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency \u2013 “you know it as ‘bubble baby disease\u2019” \u2013 in her sanitized world that includes only her doctor mother and a nurse.<\/p>\n

She’s been content enough with taking classes via Skype, having movie nights with Mom, and posting Tumblr book reviews … until Olly and his troubled family move in next door.\u00a0What begins with glimpses through windows progresses to computer screens, until love proves unavoidable and the truth inevitable.<\/p>\n

Narrator Bahni Turpin showcases her signature diverse range, effortlessly voicing 18-year-old mixed-race Japanese African American Madeline, her middle-aged mother, and her nurse, a Mexican immigrant. Although Robbie Daymond faultlessly narrates Olly’s online exchanges, the effect is noticeably jarring when Turpin reclaims the narration \u2013 including as Olly. Brief drop-ins by veterans Hillary Huber and Ann Marie Lee reading minor characters’ life-altering messages are thoughtful enhancements.<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/strong>:\u00a0Swooning first-love-with-a-seriously-ill-partner novels are undoubtedly multiplying; this is the best multicultural choice of them all.<\/p>\n
