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.

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.
