In fact, I really liked it and I found it really interesting and moving because, first of all, it was based on today's society, not like most books, where we have to imagine how were the character living or why did they do something. Besides, it was relatable to us teenagers because it shows everyday situations that we've all experienced at some point in our lives. I've recommended this book to pretty much everyone in my family, and friends and they all loved it as much as I did 1due to its simplicity but at the same time the great amount of morals that it teaches you.
''Everything, Everything'', made an impression on me for different reasons. First, I liked its message of living your life to the fullest, which is why I will go back and read it again, and again. It also made an impression on me because I started reading it at a time when I did not know what to do or what I wanted, and a time when I needed something to make me think about me, but at the same time to get me out of my head and make me take a break from my
