All the Bright Places
By: Jennifer Niven
The Fault in Our Stars meets Eleanor and Park in this exhilarating and heart-wrenching love story about a girl who learns to live from a boy who intends to die.
Soon to be a major motion picture starring Elle Fanning!
Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him.
Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death.
When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy who’s not such a freak after all. And it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink.
This is an intense, gripping novel perfect for fans of Jay Asher, Rainbow Rowell, John Green, Gayle Forman, and Jenny Downham from a talented new voice in YA, Jennifer Niven
Review:
Before starting the proper review I think it’s very important to say this one is a big trigger warning in several topics. Suicide, suicide attempts, family abuse, death of a close one... I could keep going, so please be very careful if you don’t think you can handle this triggers.
Violet and Finch meet in the most unlikely of circumstances, they meet on the top of a tower, both thinking about jumping. This is how the story unravels. We get to know Finch... probably the most complex and tragic character I have ever seen. He is fascinating.
As we dive deeper into he’s mind it is pretty obvious his metal health is suffering, either way, he made me laugh throughout the book and want to desperate know more about him.
On the other hand we have Violet, less complex but just as interesting to read about. Violet is a girl going through the loss of her sister and you can see her growing and learning how to do that through the book. She grows so much in this story.
Too get her they make an unlikely pair, but at the same time a very beautiful one. Finch makes it a mission to help Violet, and with his quirky and outgoing demeanor he helps her grow so much. Even if he can’t seem to help himself.
On that note BE WARNED this book is sad. So sad it made it as a number one in the list of books that made me cry non stop right on top of Kite Runner by Kahled Hosseini, if you have read that book, you know what I’m talking about. This is a beautiful read, the writing style and characters are supremely poetic and amazing, but this book is nonetheless not for the faint hearted.
