This is an interesting tale about a 17 going on 18 young woman whose life is restrained by her life in an environment that will expose her to nothing in the world. However, when Olly moves next door she becomes entranced with him. He moves flawlessly and so gracefully. As she watches him, he discovers her and they begin to communicate through email. As their friendship grows they realize that this is not enough. She persuades her nurse to allow him to visit. Of course, he must be decontaminated before he enters her home. The attraction continues until the two touch, hug and finally kiss all of which are forbidden by her mother.

Discovering Olly only makes Maddy want to know the world in all its reality. She wants to see and experience what she has never known except through pictures and books. When she runs away with Olly to Hawaii she becomes so ill she almost dies. The tests done in Hawaii reveal some surprising facts that changes Maddy's life dramatically. It's a good quick read with a delightful romantic story.
