Everything, Everything review and quotes by Nicola Yoon


It has been sitting on my TBR list for a while and then I saw the movie trailer.
I saw the reviews, very positive reviews and the summary is nice. It is very different from others.

I admit, when I pick that book up, I expected a lot of heavy stuffs. But since the two characters are teenagers, well. I am not disregarding the depth of teenagers' feelings. But you know, when you stopped being a teenager and stopped crying over your crush's new girlfriend and started to care about your career and life, you just... don't think of teenager's stuff as a big deal.

I don't know about how other readers do reading, but when I read, I don't do other things. I hardly read in public but sometimes, when I cannot stop reading, I had to do in public (only out of no choices) But this book, it just doesn't attract me. Not because it is not creative and not good, but only because of lack of interest.

There's one little twist. That one little twist that made me gasp and while I was really really thinking about dropping this book. So but this twist also made this book less special. I guess that's what they say about being good and bad. Well, I am still in considering state to or not to watch the movie.

Quotes below =)

Everything's a risk. Not doing anything is a risk. It's up to you.

Spoiler alert: Love is worth everything.

Just because you can’t experience everything doesn’t mean you shouldn’t experience anything.

You're not living if you're not regretting.

prom·ise (ˈpräməs) n. pl. - es. 1. The lie you want to keep. [2015, Whittier]
