“The problem with people is they forget that most of the time it's the small things that count.”
so-soI think now that I have reread this book as an adult I can see the problems in it a little more clearly then when I was 18 I wont lie in this reading process this book felt a lot younger and more problematic then it should have, it did not age well for me. I think it's VERY important to ensure young readers know suicide is not the option they need to turn too, it is not romantic or beautiful and it does in no way make the people around you better

pickFantastic. Utterly well-done. Specifically, Finch. The Author‘s Note nails it too.
pickThis one was good, but a bit of a disappointment. I think I expected it to make me more emotional and the characters' evolution and journeys left me underwhelmed. Well written, but not what I was looking for. Ultimately, though, a sound book.
pickI finished All The Bright Places in preparation for the movie release yesterday! Whew, that was not a cute read. It's a fantastic portrayal out the darker side of mental health though, expertly written.
pickI have this rule that I have to read the book before I see the movie.. can‘t wait to see this one at the end of February!
Ahhh!!! Netflix released the trailer this morning and I have the chills!!! I‘m super excited for it.
Feb 28th can‘t come soon enough.

pick4.5/5 stars. A story of a boy and a girl, both going through very hard teen-aged years for different reasons, come together and give some new meaning to each other‘s lives. There is beautiful and artistic prose, deep thoughts, vivid emotional pain along with all the usual crap involved with high school. I didn‘t know this was a YA book when I bought it (or I wouldn‘t have), but this one will stick with me. Tears definitely involved. 💗
pickThis was a tough one, but such an important topic, and so well written. Listening to the author talk briefly about her experiences with the topic made it that much better for me. I‘m looking forward to the Netflix adaptation!
pickJust finished this audio. A heartbreaking love story about 2 fragile and damaged high school kids named Violet and Finch. Niven‘s writing is excellent despite the difficult topic. Narration alternates between Finch and Violet. Very touching and an honest depiction of depression and mental illness. Looking forward to Netflix movie 2/28/20.

pickOh my gosh this book just wrecked me!!!! 😭😭😭 I had a feeling about halfway through the book were the story was going but I was praying that it didn‘t. But it did. My heart broke for both Violet and Finch. Mental Heath and Suicide Prevention is very important. We need to be there for our family and friends in need. Now just to watch until the Netflix movie comes out so I can be wrecked all over again! 😭
Re-reading All The Bright Places❤?
"The thing I realize is, that it's not what you take, it's what you leave."
Does anybody else ever read a book that‘s about to be adopted into a movie soon and they go “Oh shit I need to finish that thing real fast”? Cause tbh that‘s what is happening with me reading this book, even though I‘m super busy with my finals at the moment, I just don‘t wanna get any influenced by the fandom that will come following the movie release
Genre: Young adult fiction
Date started: Dec 1
Date completed: Dec 5
How did I choose this book? The intriguing summary at the back of the book quickly caught my attention and drove me right into the book.
Summary: There was this one boy ‘Theodore Finch‘ who is fascinated by death. Everyday, he thinks of how he may die, but he also thinks and searches for something to keep him here alive on earth.
Summary and information below. :)
Read this book 4 years ago. Check out Violet and Finch's story before its movie release if you haven't read it yet📖🎬 #BooksToScreen
Been waiting for this movie adaptation to come out for two years. It‘s one of my favorite books! Another movie I wait to come out on Netflix in February! 😬❤️ #AllTheBrightPlaces #Netflix

I wonder what the story would be like when two main characters interact as they suffer from grief.
pickRaw. Beautiful writing. A hard book to read at times and hard to review after completing it. So much to think about. Mental illness is real. It's hard. We need to talk about it more.
“If all else perished and he remained, i should still continue to be”
pickI love this book so much. I loved Violet and Finch and gosh I really fell for Finch. At the end I was just screaming for her to go find him and save him but when I read “Even when they bring the body up, swollen and bloated and blue” my heart just dropped. I immediately started crying and I cried for the rest of the book waiting for Violet to find Finch at the other wandering places and that he didn‘t actually die but that never happened. RIP TF💔

What was the last book to make you cry?
My emotions are easily provoked by books but there are definitely some that require more tissue usage than others. If you haven‘t had a chance to check out my top 5 tearjerkers video, you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/yUWs6j9McHE
panTrigger Warning: Suicide
I think this book could have had an important and impactful message.this book could have been about reducing stigma, listening to the signs, not being afraid to speak up. But instead, I found it really problematic. I thought it romantized teen suicide. I am over the tortured, mysterious, "sexy" trope.

panIf this were only Violet‘s story, I‘d feel differently. Since it‘s Violet + Finch‘s, it made me mad.
It begins innocuously enough, an unlikely friendship forming between two struggling teens, helping each other through mental illness and grief. But then, with the (predictable) ending, it feels more harmful than helpful to the dialogue around mental health.
After this book + The Female of the Species, I really need some good, happy books. 😂
This book was hard to read, but good to read. To me, it really isn't much like Fault in Our Stars, but is a different story about loss and mental illness. Finch shines brightly and full of life, though he spends his time deciding whether or not to die. His relationship with Violet is just as bright and heart tugging as the rest of the story. It can also serve as a warning to all parents, to listen, even when nothing is being said.
pickA lovely but very tragic book about a bipolar guy and a girl who's haunted by the death of her older sister.
Rating: 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
so-soThis book will definitely take me a few days to process... I‘m having trouble deciding if I liked it or not. To me, Holding Up the Universe had a better storyline, but regardless, I am sold on Niven‘s writing after reading another book of hers. My biggest complaint is that I predicted the entire ending within the first 25-50 pages, but that sometimes happens with YA. A solid pick for fans of Looking for Alaska by John Green. Grab some Kleenex.
pickCried like a baby at the end of the book. I felt so much on behalf of both the main characters it felt like I was there in their relationship
pickThis was one of the best books I've ever read. In the vein of thirteen reasons why ot was as real and visceral as any book about suicide. Finch and violet were amazing. This was funny and sad at the same time.
pickStill can't get over, the fact that Theoder left reality. I truly believe that he is now living in the world he had always wanted, but never had until it all ended. It was unfortunate to see how Violet wasn't able to save him through all the moments they shared together. Although, the wanderings that he left were lovely and heartbreaking at the same time. Jovian Plutonian effect, one of the best way to describe the feeling of being able to live🖤
