I cannot write a review at the moment since I'm still a little teary but I will say that I loved this book and that I loved the writing style.

I finished this yesterday and I actually really enjoyed it!!! I loved the relationship between Finch and Violet and how they both seemed to help each other!!

The one thing I didn't like was how nobody seemed to care about Finch??? The parents, the school counsellor, his friends, the school—whenever he disappeared for literally an entire WEEK, everybody was like "yeah, that's just Finch, he does this all the time!!". Like wtf that's not something you can simply brush off??? THAT BOY NEEDS HELP.

Deze wilde ik zo snel mogelijk uit hebben. Het hele verhaal door wist ik hoe het zou gaan eindigen, dat was simpelweg te voorspellen. Ik zag iemand anders onder een ander boek net schrijven dat ze het emotionele chantage vond, en die vind ik ook heel toepasselijk voor dit boek. De schrijver introduceert je aan gebroken maar oh so quirky relatable teens en laat ze eindigen als een soort tragedie, behalve dan dat de vrouwelijke hoofdpersoon dan maar iets goeds moet halen uit de dood van de jongen waarop ze verliefd was, die haar uit de put hielp. Maar wat is de boodschap dan? Dat hij niet te fixen was? Dat hij toch mooie dingen deed voordat hij een einde aan zijn leven maakte?

I have no words for this book. I am just numb down to my very core.
This book really opened my eyes in a slap across the face kinda way. It was a very beautiful story that I will always consider to be a book that shook me to my very core and the kind of book I will have my kids read.
