emotional sad medium-paced

Bogen handler om Violet og Finch, som begge i hver deres kamp pludselig befinder sig i toppen af et tårn, hvor de hver ender med at redde hinanden.

De begynder på et projekt i skolen om at udforske deres egen stat, hvor de finder unikke og usete steder. Igennem dette blomstrer deres kærlighed. Violet der har mistet sin søster i en ulykke begynder så småt at lære at komme videre, mens Finch der kæmper med psykiske problemer så småt begynder at blive fanget i et mørke. Han er dog desværre kendt som en freak, som en der nogle gange bare forsvinder, som er uregerlig - og netop derfor er der ingen der reagerer. Ser symptomerne på hans psykiske sygdom, som desværre til sidst ender i selvmord. 

Nogle store temaer i bogen er sorg og psykisk sygdom. Hvordan psykisk sygdom ofte er tabubelagt og overset. Den omhandler kontrasten mellem selvmord og anden død - og hvordan folk reagerer på den bagefter. 

Det var en god og tankevækkende bog.

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.

I really liked how raw and emotional this was, but I feel like for the whole point of the story to be the new found relationship between Violet and Finch, it wasn’t capitalized on as much as it should have been. I feel like the plot was more centered around death than anything, so fair warning if you’re sensitive to that. But other than that I felt really attached to the characters and I looked forward to reading more each day and it definitely made me cry in the end I can tell you that.
