Vi møter, Maddy, som lever innelåst i huset sitt på grunn av en sjelden sykdom som gjør at hun ikke tåler noe, hun er rett og slett allergisk mot verden. Moren er lege og overvåker datterens helse nøye og har ansatt en sykepleier som er med henne på dagtid. Disse to menneskene er stort sett de hun ser i løpet av en dag. Helt til det en dag flytter inn noen nye i nabohuset, og hun og nabogutten, Olly, får kontakt gjennom vinduet og etter hvert sender de hverandre e-poster. Boken fortelles av Maddy, men også gjennom e-postene, lapper, chatter, tegninger osv. Jeg ble virkelig sugd inn i Maddy sin fortelling og hennes lengsel etter noe mer enn livet hun i 17 år har levd inne i huset med moren. Olly vekker noe i henne og dette er en helt spesiell Coming-of-Age-historie.

Boka hadde en del overrakelser i løpet av de 300 sidene. Noe kom som forventet for meg andre ting som uforventet. En virkelig søt historie mellom de to naboene med utveklsing av mail fra Maddy og Olly. Likte denne ganske godt og følte sidene egentlig fløt ganske godt i mellom, perfekt avslapping fra hverdagen og en god roman å lese om sommeren. Vurdere også å se filmen nå. Har noen sett den?

Synes det var veldig greit å lage liste over bøker etterhvert som jeg leste dem i fjor, så tenkte å gjøre det samme i år. :)
