At first, I was of the opinion that the book was a bit too ‘young’ adult for me, having little depth and describing teenage drama, but then the book took a more serious turn and I became way more invested in what would happen to the characters.

Please check the content warnings. 

This was not an easy book to read. I took a few breaks to feel my feelings before picking it back up. That being said, Jennifer Niven did an amazing job of showing Violet and Finch’s worlds colliding, melding, and ripping apart.

This book is absolutely, heart-wrenchingly beautiful. One of those books that stay with you for a long time. I would highly recommend it, but please check the content warnings before reading (and be prepared to cry. like ugly cry.)

This gave me Perks of Being a Wallflowe vibes. A raw exploration of the impact of grief.   Also a difficult look at how  bi-polar/manic-depression can be overwhelming,  especially when not undersood by the person experiencing it or the people in their life. 

Important message by the end: reach out. Talk. Speak  up!
