You can already tell by the title that today I am doing a book review! My first one, so let's make this good.
All the Bright Places is a contemporary book about two characters, Violet Markey and Theodore Finch, who meet on top of the school bell tower where Finch talks Violet out of jumping off.
Theodore has a difficult home life, his Dad has left and he has had quite a hard life. He has struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts, and everyone at school calls him a freak. Violet is mourning her sister who died in a car crash last April where Violet survived, she still hasn't gotten over it. She hasn't gotten in a car since. When they meet everyone at school thinks that Violet is a hero because she stopped Finch from killing himself, only her and Finch know the truth. After being assigned to work on a school project together, they grow closer. As Violet becomes more open, Finch gets worse. How far will she go to save him?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It made me laugh, smile, cry and I felt so connected to the characters, especially Finch. I would like to know more about how Violet feels throughout the book. I read it really quickly, and was gripped all the way through. If you enjoyed Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell, I think you will like this.
Overall:
5/5 stars. This was amazing.
Please leave me a comment telling me what books you would like to see a review on and what I could to make these reviews better.
Au revoir!
Emile :)
