The book is as heartbreaking as I remember, and even though you know what’s coming, it won’t diminish the deep impact of Violet and Finch’s story: two lost souls find each other and make a connection, desperately trying to save each other, to come out on the other side unscathed, to be better and to go trough all the trials and tribulations this life has to offer, together. A warning to all repeat readers: it won’t be any different the second time around. I already read this book a while ago and decided to pick it up again because I learned that it has been adapted for Netflix, scheduled for release later this month. The first time, I still recall, the story of Violet and Finch was almost too much to bear for me it had been a while since I last cried over a book but “All the bright places” left me in tears. As they begin to spend more time together (initially through a school project, for which they team up to find the wonders of Indiana), Violet and Finch grow closer and experience the sweet turmoil of first love while still battling their demons.
Instead of taking their own lives, they talk each other off the ledge. Violet still tries to deal with her sister’s death, while Finch feels that he’s broken and nobody is able to fix him. The book begins with Violet Markey and Theodore Finch meeting each other on top of the school’s bell tower, contemplating suicide.
Two troubled teenagers meet, fall in love and try to save each other from despair.
