All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven Review!
•
“We do not remember days, we remember moments.”
•
All The Bright Places isn’t based on a true story, but it describes how the society of today works. It’s
times like these that make me wonder if all humans are led by hate.
•
Theodore Finch, a carefree spirit that’s trapped under the label of ‘the freak’.
Violet Markey, the girl who’s afraid to live after the accident that kept her alive.
I related to Finch a lot. The way his thoughts moved, how carefree he could be, but a second later, having
nothing in your mind. Finch had a beautiful soul in the book, one that saw everything with passion and
kindness. How he made descriptions of different things he saw had me awe-struck.
Finch wasn’t accepted into the society around him, he was ‘the freak’ as everyone called him when he
walked down the hallway of school. I didn’t see him as that, I saw him as a person with these beautiful
characteristics that got cast aside because of his differences. How messed up is that?
Finch’s spunky personality filtered through as Violet Markey started to make an appearance in the book. I
struggled to connect to Violet, I guess it’s because I’ve never felt grief. Violet seemed like she was
ashamed to be herself because of the insurmountable guilt that overcame her after the accident. She
appeared as someone who didn’t trust anyone, who wanted nothing to do with the pitying glances casted
her way. I wish I could say more about her, but I couldn’t connect to her like I did with Finch…
All The Bright Places was an eye-opening read, I did struggle to read it sometimes because I got slightly
bored with it, and I didn’t vibe with the author’s writing at times, (not saying her writing is bad, it didn’t
appeal to me, personally). I still enjoyed it though, and I wish I could say more, and do this book justice
with my review, but it’s difficult when there’s so much I want to include!
I’d recommend this to those who like the genres of young adult, mental health, romance, and realistic
fiction xx
