This story had an interesting premise about a girl who can never leave her house because of an immune disorder. She then falls in love with the next door neighbor. Madeline the main character is full of want because she never leaves her home. Olly, the boy next door, and her become friends. I liked that Madeline was not your average girl in the bloom of first love character.
SpoilerI did call that the mother had some sort of Munchasen by proxy thing going. I knew she wasn't making her child ill like in the classic Munchasen by proxy situation but I called early on in the book that Madeline wasn't truly ill and did not have an immunodeficency and her mother was mentally ill and making up her disease. This might be because I did a paper a long time ago about Munchasen by proxy that I could spot signs the author was dropping about Madeline's mom not causing her illness but definitely saying the illness existed when it didn't really.
Interesting premise and first love story.
