(Summary from Goodreads). 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.
Guys. Guys… this story is worth reading. It is so heartbreaking and amazing. It is a roller coaster of emotions and events. I honestly could not put it down. Everyone needs to read this story.
A girl, Violet, recently lost her sister in a car accident. Violet lived, while her sister passed away. She meets an unconventional boy named Theodore. He is a drifter/wanderer. He is obsessed with the idea of death.
While I was reading the book I noticed something was off. I just couldn't place my finger on it. I wanted so much for Theodore and Violet to have a happy ending, but I just knew that it would not be happening. It is so sad to read a story in the mind of someone who has bipolar disorder, depression, etc. Whatever he had… because it was undiagnosed. There were so many things that happened in his life that caused him to be so different. There are so many emotions running through me at this very moment. I just can't. This book is amazing. I wasn't one to be OBSESSED with The Fault in Our Stars. I am obsessed with this book though. Niven wrote an amazing story and it deserves everything (and more).
Everyone, go pick up this book at the bookstore… like yesterday. :)
Five out of five stars.
