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.

 “We do not remember days, we remember moments."

I really do not know how to feel about this book. This book was heavy. Coming off of The Fault in Our Stars, I think this book is very similar, but there are a few differences that made me not enjoy this book as much as The Fault in Our Stars. I didn't like the writing style as much. Some lines felt very outdated. I didn't really like the characters as much, either. Their relationship felt a bit insta-lovey to me as well, like in The Fault in Our Stars. There were a few moments I liked, but there were also several that I disliked. The discussions around sensitive topics are ones that should be talked about, and destigmatized, yet, I feel as if there are better books out there for that.

“The thing I realize is that it’s not what you take, it’s what you leave.”

Wow, just wow. I want to stay by saying if mental health crisis’, suicidal ideation, and discussion of suicide are triggers for you then now is not the time for this book. 
This book was beautiful, lovely, devastating, heartbreaking, haunting, and also kind of uplifting. It was very real and I appreciated and hated that about it. This is one of those books that will weigh on me long after it is done. I am both left feeling speechless and so full of thoughts and feelings about this. This is one of most powerful books I’ve read. It had “The Fault in Our Stars” vibes in heartbreak level.
