Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon
Madeline is what you would call a girl in a bubble. If she steps foot outside her house, she could get sick and die. If someone who isn't approved comes into her house, she could get sick and die. There are no pets, no real plants, no real life. She just exists, really. It's only Madeline, her mother, and her nurse, Carla.
Then one day, things change. Olly and his family move in next door. Madeline is intrigued by him, and they strike up a friendship via email and instant messaging. Carla breaks the rules and allows Olly into the house on multiple occasions. Madeline and Olly fall in love, and Madeline is willing to risk everything, including her life, to be with him.
To say she has truly lived, just once, she and Olly run away to Maui. It's a wonderful, brief time of happiness for Maddy. Then she gets sick and has to come home. She loses Olly, though it is by her choice. But then she learns something that will change everything.
