This book was good, but it wasn't amazing. I don't know, this one is hard because of the meaning and all that stuff behind the book so I felt bad being my harsh self.
I felt like the beginning dragged on way longer than it needed to. I wanted them to like start the project and all that and that aspect alone took like 100 pages... I felt like that should have been more time spent developing the relationship between Violet and Finch. I really enjoyed the relationship that did form between Violet and Finch, even if it wasn't much.
I don't want to say that I didn't like Finch because by no means did I not like him. I just have some thoughts about him. I have a love hate relationship with Finch. I didn't really like him much throughout the book. I felt like a lot of things he did were just so out of pocket. I liked him as we neared the end. After the end thought I fell in love with him. I know it is hard to fall in love with someone who is already dead but the things he did for violet I could really relate to Finch with the stuff that he went through. I can even say I have been in an "asleep" stage during my lifetime.
The ending didn't emotionally hit. I guessed what was going to happen in the end. I wanted something that was going to make me bawl my eyes out but I literally didn't shed a single tear. I do have to say that the ending was the best part in my option. I grew to like the character more but that's about it.
This book didn't really meet my expectations, that's why I rated it so low.

This book was well written and touches on a topic that is not often covered, those that remain after a suicide. However, the way the love story is woven into the plot make the whole thing unstable. the books message about grief and understanding culpability with regards to mental health is often under cut by the at it talks about suicide. i would not recommend giving this book to someone seriously struggling with mental health issues and suicidal thoughts. it will not be helpful in my opinion. it helpful perhaps for people just beginning to understand the complexities of stigma and shame that can result from being neurodivergent. that along with wonderful writing gets it a four star from me
