dont talk to me.
the way i was listening to waiting room when violet found his body like i js could not. i started crying when embryo mentioned theodore being bipolar n did not stop untill i read the authors note n acknowledgements. the fact that the author herself went through the same thing as violet and theodore makes me wanna scream cry n js sob (ive already done all of the above)
theodore finch is the loml. he was js so goddamn perfect n i cant even talk abt him for more than five seconds without crying. the way noone fkn cared when he left bcs "its js what theo does" LIKE NO. maybe if someone did something earlier he wouldnt have fkn died

Ruined the ending for myself by looking for the film trailer but a wonderful but heart wrenching story

A great read and an important book. You’ll love the characters from the start and will hold on to them as they change and grow…

Heartbreaking. Beautiful. But heartbreaking.
I'm so glad I didn't read this book 2 years ago when I started it because I wouldn't have loved it as much as I do now.
I read many negative reviews and I get why some people don't like it.
I always knew how this book would end because I got spoiled, so I enjoyed every. single. moment between Violet and Finch. Their story was perfect, they were cute, and hot, and made for each other. Finch was exactly the boy I want to have in my life, funny, crazy, intelligent, poetic, understanding, lovely. And even if he had his sad thoughts and dark parts, he was still perfect.
"I feel jealous, just for a second, of his brain. In this moment, mine feels so ordinary." - Violet
SAME
He gives the most beautiful, intelligent, unique, lovely compliments and that is one of the best things about him.
I love the quotes in this book.
"The story of a girl who learns to live from a boy who wants to die." - that's just heartbreaking. He seemed to be living life to it's fullest, the one person who aced living.
I love their wandering, I love how he left little things for her in the remaining places, I love his last letter to Violet, I love how he wanted to be nothing more than the Theodore Finch Violet Markey loves, I love the nickname he made for her, I love how he saved her, yet he wasn't saved in the end.
And even when I thought I can't be more heartbroken, I read the acknowledgements, which I wouldn't have read 2 years ago.. and the fact that this was partially the author's story made me cry even more.
And what I loved the most.. were the little things. How Violet wrote an epitaph for him, saying in one way or another that he was loved, how he wrote "Violet is life", that being a reference to the group he was at, how he laughed when she said she didn't like him, how he was so scared to touch her when she was angry, how he made sure his friends and family knew what he thought of them before leaving them for good, how she called "Marco"..
And he died, looking for the bottom of the Blue Hole.. but he didn't die. He's just wandering - this time, in another world, because our world was to little for someone like him.
I think that everyone should read this book, live this story with the characters, cry, laugh, and adore Theodore Finch.
This is now one of my favorites. I could talk about it for hours.
