All the Bright Places by Jennifer NivenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This goddamn book had me sobbing at the end. I can't believe how fast I began to love its characters. It is a rare occasion when a book makes you fall in love with a character so early in the story but All the Bright Places did that for me. I read it in a day and I couldn't stop because of how much I wanted these characters to have a happy ending. Finch was lovely. His personality changed so much but his essence stayed the same. I love that about him. His wanders were brilliant and I couldn't help but love him for how he displayed his emotions. I myself have a growing collection of post-its full of quotes that stuck to me. The writing was cool and I love how full of poetry it was. I could somehow relate to the characters because words are really important to me and either read or written they are a big part of my life. This story, although painful, is real and deals with mental illnesses. The stigmas and labels that surround these illnesses are a big part of the book and something I most certainly do not like. The only thing that I can say regarding the plot is that I may have seen it coming but it most assuredly felt like a blow. I'm astounded with the book and I certainly never thought I would like it as much as I did.
