All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

dark emotional reflective sad

5.0

I think it was remarkable! (😉)

I really liked Finch💙 and Violet💜
I wish the book didn't end like that, because I want more moments between the two, BUT I wouldn't want it any other way - makes it realistic. Since I discussed the book with my friend Keitlyn, I realized that the story showed us how love can't fix everything. No matter how much I wished for Finch to stay, (he didn't) the situation had already gone too far and that's why I liked the book. It might've been romance, but I think that for the first time I focused on other aspects of the story more than the romance - and I really loved it. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adored Finch's and Violet's relationship, but the way the story ended was perfect.

The book kinda hit me hard.. I laughed and cried, while going through all kinds of emotions. I will carry All the Bright Places in my heart for a long time. I feel like I learned, or rather understood, a little bit more about the world and how different people experience it. I also feel like I left a piece of me in the book, something inside me has changed either way. I was practically bawling my eyes out at the end because of the overwhelming emotions. Also, the author's note... all I can say is Thank You, Jennifer Niven! <3

"Stay," I say, "stay."
