\"book<\/a>Can’t ever leave her house,
\nAny particle could kill her,
\nbut love can stop your heart, too…<\/p>\n

Such a rare medical condition, yet Maddy has survived her severe autoimmune diseases<\/a> to reach age 18, just as new neighbors move in next door to her airlock-sealed house, and she can see Olly there.<\/p>\n

Surprising turns (this book reached bestseller status before I got to write about it – oops), longing for change, and a chance to love.<\/p>\n

If you suddenly became allergic to something wonderful, how would you cope?

My book talk<\/strong>: Medically fragile Maddy is no longer content to stay airlocked into safety when Olly moves next door, and the teens strike up an enticing online friendship.<\/p>\n

Her severe autoimmune disorders were diagnosed in childhood shortly after Dad and her brother were killed, so Maddy has lived in a sealed house for years, tutored online, cared for by her doctor mother and longtime nurse.<\/p>\n

At 18, she knows she will never go away to college or learn to drive, but is content with the arrangements that allow her to stay relatively healthy… until Olly and his family move next door.<\/p>\n

What would it be like to touch someone besides Mom and Carla?
\nHow can Olly share the world with her without killing her?
\nWhat if the truth is only partly true?<\/p>\n

A friendship story, a love story, with health report charts and emails and doodles – about everything Maddy thinks she knows and wants to know. (One of 6,000 books recommended on www.abookandahug.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
