Have you ever done something crazy for love?

In Nicholas Yoon book we see that the characters do crazy things for love,and those things bring a lot of teachings, and that is why I really liked the book,very beautiful, and with many messages. I liked it because it shows us how you can do crazy things out of fear, and that love is not chosen if you don't feel it. We can see how fear makes you do crazy things when ****** SPOILER ALERT ****** the mother invents that Madie has a disease called SCID, and the mother invents it to protect her, since her husband and son died, and she did not want to lose her.And we see how love at first sight exists when **** SPOILER ALLERT **** Madie risks her life, just because she really fell in love, and wants to live her life with Olly.

 

This book talks about how loving someone can be so beautiful or so stressful.The book shows this when we discover that the mom of Maddie invents the desease because she was scared to lose Maddi since she is the only person that she has,because her husband and her son die years ago.Maddie discover this from an email that she says that she is not sick It is an email from the doctor who saw her in Hawaii,she tells him that what happened to her in Hawaii was not because she had SCI but because she had never been outside and that made her immune system weak,but she just had a flu that everyone can have.

 

In the book they also show us how all the characters do everything for love, and one of those cases is Maddi with Olly, she risked her life because she wanted to be with him, because she LOVED, she and Olly go to Hawaii and Maddi takes That risk of leaving his house and leaving. We see how Maddi says “Love is worth everything. Everything.”And that is a very small message that the book gives, because she was able to give her life, even if she was afraid of what was going to happen, she did.

 

There is a qoute that Maddi says that is too cute and deep, and shows us that love is not just a word, it is a feeling that can make you fly “I was happy before I met him. But I’m alive now, and those are not the same thing.”This qoute makes us see that this book is full of love, and the different ways of feeling it, that it makes you feel, how it can change your life. It is one of my favorite qoutes from the book.

 

Now ... there is love like Maddy's for Olly or the love that her mother has for Maddy, which is already a very obsessive love, it is a love that hurts, the mother has lied to Maddy ALL her life for "LOVE "She didn't want to lose her but what she didn't know is that she was hurting her. and we can see in this qoute what maddy feels about that “I decide then that love is a terrible, terrible thing. Loving someone as fiercely as my mom loves me must be like wearing your heart outside of your body with no skin, no bones, no nothing to protect it”

 

But like everything in the world, not everything is perfect, and because of that great love that Maddy had with Olly, she did a lot of crazy things, and the mother finds out, and she forbids Maddy to see Olly and for that reason Olly goes to another city. and Maddy in this book makes us see the beautiful things and the bad, and in this quoute she shows us her feelings with a metaphor “My guilt is an ocean for me to drown in.''that show metaphor let us see how bad she feels.

 

This book is now one of my favorites, it teaches us the different characteristics of love, and how love can have beautiful and bad consequences. It is a book that leaves you many lessons. I liked it a lot and I highly recommend it!
