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.

“We do not remember days, we remember moments."

I really do not know how to feel about this book. This book was heavy. Coming off of The Fault in Our Stars, I think this book is very similar, but there are a few differences that made me not enjoy this book as much as The Fault in Our Stars. I didn't like the writing style as much. Some lines felt very outdated. I didn't really like the characters as much, either. Their relationship felt a bit insta-lovey to me as well, like in The Fault in Our Stars. There were a few moments I liked, but there were also several that I disliked. The discussions around sensitive topics are ones that should be talked about, and destigmatized, yet, I feel as if there are better books out there for that.

wasn't a fan of this one. didn't connect to the characters and I thought at times it romanticised mental illness. I listened to the audiobook and think that was the wrong choice as I hated the actor's voices.

This book omg that's all I can say I read it in one day like the writing style the characters every thing was amazing but I knew Finch killed himself even before the book said he did this book has made me cry more than any book I've read in a long time.(Don't worry that's a good thing) But I wish Finch wouldn't have killed himself but I'm glad Ultraviolet Remarky-able was able to get his clues and be ok.

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.
