This book was hard to read. I related to Violet and Finch due to their mental health struggles. I was known as the girl who tried to hang herself last year. So, seeing Finch being referred to in similar ways really hit close to home for me. Finch was one of the most real characters I've ever read. The way he acted was a great example of someone that is passively suicidal and broke the typical norm for books that have to deal with the subject. Most of the time a character who is suicidal or recovering from that is treated like the typical always-depressed person. But not for Finch. He displays a more realistic and different take on the trope. I really liked that. 

This book was powerful. It was sad but hopeful. And even if I didn't like how it ended, it was still good.

This book was informative on mental illness.

As it talks a lot on suicidal ideation and suicide in general as well as Finch being bipolar, and the awake and sleep of bipolar disorder and how hard it is to live with that. It also shows the impact of sucide on others even when you don't think other people care, they do. This book helped me with my understanding of bipolar disorder and mental illness in general.

I highly recommend, however be sure to check content warnings before going into this book as it does have a few dark topics.

i’ve never felt so many emotions while reading a single book. connecting to the characters is so easy because it’s so well written, and you feel their joy, love and sorrow. beautiful messages throughout.
