All the Bright Places

NOW A NETFLIX FILM, STARRING ELLE FANNING AND JUSTICE SMITH!
The New York Times bestselling love story about two teens who find each other while standing on the edge.
Theodore Finch is fascinated by death. Every day he thinks of ways he might kill himself, but every day he also searches for—and manages to find—something to keep him here, and alive, and awake.
Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her small 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—six stories above the ground— it’s unclear who saves whom. Soon it’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself. 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. . . .

✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *All the Bright Places* powerfully explores love and mental health through complex, richly drawn characters, especially Finch. Many praise...
I'm giving this four stars because it was really well-written and worthwhile, even though I'm really mad at it!
Even though this book has some sensitive topics in it, such as self harm, eating disorders, and suicide it was still a beautifully written book. I instantly connected with the main character Finch and what he was going through and absolutely loved the budding romance between Finch and Violet. The dual timelines where you hear from Finch and Violet was a great way of telling this heartbreaking story. Highly recommend reading and then watching the movie!
Wow!! Absolutely phenomenal! Definitely a must-read for teens and adults alike!
This is one of those books that you will finish and look around to realize the world is still going on like your heart wasn't just broken.
3.5 stars. It took me a long time to finally read All the Bright Places and I think this time the book didn't live up to the hype for me. It was so very YA. I finally picked it up for Banned Book Week. While I did speed through it and was entertained, it was so predictable it became unrealistic. And I've read the same plot before: teen girl is spinning after a family member's death, meets troubled boy, they're forced to work on a school project together. If I had read this one first, I might would have liked it more. BUT it is written very well. The characters are fleshed-out, even if they do seem unrealistic, at times. I just expected to be heart-broken with this one, but no tears were shed.
