This book was hard to read. I related to Violet and Finch due to their mental health struggles. I was known as the girl who tried to hang herself last year. So, seeing Finch being referred to in similar ways really hit close to home for me. Finch was one of the most real characters I've ever read. The way he acted was a great example of someone that is passively suicidal and broke the typical norm for books that have to deal with the subject. Most of the time a character who is suicidal or recovering from that is treated like the typical always-depressed person. But not for Finch. He displays a more realistic and different take on the trope. I really liked that. 

This book was powerful. It was sad but hopeful. And even if I didn't like how it ended, it was still good.

This book was well written and touches on a topic that is not often covered, those that remain after a suicide. However, the way the love story is woven into the plot make the whole thing unstable. the books message about grief and understanding culpability with regards to mental health is often under cut by the at it talks about suicide. i would not recommend giving this book to someone seriously struggling with mental health issues and suicidal thoughts. it will not be helpful in my opinion. it helpful perhaps for people just beginning to understand the complexities of stigma and shame that can result from being neurodivergent. that along with wonderful writing gets it a four star from me

Definitely check content warnings before reading this book!

This book was hard to read. I felt like it did a good job of depicting how suicide, depression and mental illness through the lens of teenagers with how flawed (For lack of a better word) their thinking is. I feel like despite some of the flaws this is an important book. My only real issue with it is how much blame Violet put on herself foe

Finch’s death.
