 This was a truly beautiful and heartbreaking book. Some parts were incredibly difficult to read but it was done in such a way you understood why. As taboo and often too stigmatised subjects of grief, mental illness and suicide were covered in such a raw way protrayed by Violet and Finch's experiences. It was foreshadowed from the start how Finch's story would end and even though you thought he would get the help he needed. But even the love he had between Violet wasn't enough but he tried so hard for so long.
