review / all the bright places by jennifer niven

i remembered to post today! i feel so accomplished. i just finished this book (all the bright places by jennifer niven) and thought i would review it for all of you. hope this helps you all!

i am always looking for a good book. zoe sugg reccommended this one in a favorites video a while back, and i knew i had to read it. if you don't know what the book is about, it is about a boy named theodore (who goes by finch) and a girl named violet.  they both ended up on top of a bell tower with the same vision in mind, to end their lives.  i'm really into books about people who commit/want to commit suicide. i don't know why, don't ask. but something i really enjoyed about this book is finch and violet's thought process.  why finch hated his life and why he wanted to end it, and why violet wanted to do the same. like, finch is obsessed with knowing anything and everything about suicide.  he knows statistics, several different ways how to do it that i didn't even know, (and i know a lot!) and has read who knows how many articles and stories about suicide. it's kind of insane! violet has just been miserable since her sister died, and doesn't want to deal with the pain anymore. this book took a bit for me to get into, i struggled trying to start it. but as soon as i got into it, i couldn't stop reading it.  at the very end i started to struggle again, but then fell back into it. so, if you have trouble starting books, this one might not be for you.  it also talks a ton about suicide (and death in general) which i don't mind, but i know some people don't like reading about that.  in finch's chapters, there is a ton of swearing. (which again, i don't mind. if you know me personally you know i swear a ton.) so i wouldn't reccommend it to younger people. it is a young adult book, so i would say it would be for anyone older than 14.  it also goes into a ton of detail about sex and kissing, so it might not be your book if you don't like reading it.  overall review-not my favorite book, but for sure in the top 10. as soon as i got into it, i laughed with them, i cried with them, i freaked out with them, and i got angry with them and threw the book across the room on multiple occasions. i would reccommend it if you are into books with a little bit of smut, death talks, and language.

rate / 9/10

do i reccommend? / if you are okay with a bit of smut, language, and death talks, for sure!
