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 eats me up from the inside. Reading Theodore's point of view can kill me. Poor my baby blue.

It's exceptionally hard to rate this book, relating to and having lived so many of its events personally. The characters felt believable and real for once (which is rare in a YA novel) and weren't in the least irritating.

Parts of it did feel an awful lot like info-dumping, but it was all important, valuable, and relevant information that added to the storyline and filled it out more.

Heartbreaking, hopeful, and cathartic, to sum up.

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.
