This book doesn't have a happy ending but it's the best book I have ever read. I think it's an important book about greef, love, and finding yourself, but it is heavy. This is not an easy read but is well worth it.

I read this book a few years ago now and absolutely loved it. It’s still my favourite book of all time, without a doubt. It’s so beautifully written, even when speaking about sensitive topics such as suicide. As someone who’s related to Finch a lot in the past, this book really showed how it’s like to deal with suicide. Absolutely loved it, amazing read

Honestly I don’t think i’m ever getting over this book. This was my first Jennifer Niven read and I have holding up the universe in my tbr. I loved reading Finch’s and Violets story, learning all about their past and going with them on all sorts of adventures, the romance in this was also perfect. By the end of this I was sobbing so much and my heart was broken, what if Violet didn’t say anything, would Finch still be here?  When Violet went to the last places they had to wander and connected up the dots it made me feel something which idk how to describe but the texts Finch sent finally made sense. My heart literally shattered when I realised they were going to find Finch in the lake.. don’t think i’ll be recovering any time soon </3  Loved it.
