What is the meaning of Everything? : Everything, Everything book review

Hi. Reading is one of my way to escape reality and travel and listen to other stories aside from my life. One of my dear friend bought me this book (thank you Aidalyn!) as her birthday present since she knew that I'm planning to buy one because I got interested to its trailer.

Maddie lives in a bubble for 18 years. She seems contented to everything that she has (her mom, Carla and her books) until Oli comes along. Oli made her want to live life differently - like she always wanted and imagined. Or is it? Is it really Oli or is it the fire that burns inside her for the past 18 years prentending that she is okay with everything that she had.

I do not feel like telling the whole story to you because I do not want to be a thief who will rob all the excitement that you have (if you are also interested reading this book). But let me tell you some of the inspiring and memorable message inside this wonderful book.


  • Everyday you get up and learn something new. Everyday you find something to be happy about. Everyday you have a smile for me.
  • Everything is a risk. Not doing anything is a risk. It's up to you.
  • But the difference between knowing it and seeing them in person is the difference between dreaming of flying and flight.
  • I'm too busy laughing to say anything.
  • Hysterical Abdominal Rhopalocera- The condition of having one or more monarch butterflies take up residence in the stomach
  • Me in love would be like being a food critic with no taste buds. It would be like being a color - blind painter. It would be like -
  • Just because you can't experience everything doesn't mean that you shouldn't experience anything.
  • For the first time in a long time, I want more than I have.
  • You have enough things to be afraid of. Love can't kill you.
  • This is why people touch. Sometimes words are just not enough.
The list can go on and we will spend ages.

Everything, Everything makes me wonder. 

Is there such person who will make you see the world differently?

 If love can make the world go round, then why some people stand still? 

If love is the most selfless act that one can do to the other, then why do some of them forbid their loved ones to experience life?

Love is such a complicated feeling that our brain needs such understanding to figure everything out.

Sometimes one lie can change your life. It is enough to ruin everything that you have been working for so long. A lie whether good or bad is still a lie. 

If you love a person, would you also lie to him with the thought that it would hurt him so bad as if you killed him?

People sometimes do irrational things to make them happy. If they think it will make them ecstatic. Is it a selfish act?

Courage is such a strong attitude a person can have. Fighting for what you believe in. Fighting for what you deserve. But until when?

Life can be really complicated thinking all the "what ifs" but I think life is still wonderful in spite of all the hurt and pain that we encounter. In spite of all the struggles that we have been through, In spite of all the shit that life put us through. With all the beautiful disasters that we experienced, I think loving someone with the knowledge that it might gonna end up anytime is the most precious one.

Live life the way you want it as long as you are not hurting anybody. Life will always be short. Life will always be complicated in its own way. Life will always be different everyday, make sure you always smile.
