All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
5.0
[cw: mental health; teen suicide]
All the Bright Places is one of those books that is not only written incredibly, but one that needs to be read for the content it covers. This book follows two characters, Violet and Finch, as they get to know one another after encountering each other at the top of a bell tower. This heart wrenching story then follows as they discover themselves together while ultimately realizing the power mental health holds in their lives even as teenagers. I loved this book because it did not romanticize mental health or suicide, it directly showed how painful it can be for those affected and people around them. Although this is written for young adults, I think it’s one that can be read by anyone because it covers such mature content. This book makes you realize how fragile life can be and to tell everyone you love them every day. Overall an amazing book that captures you from the first to the last page.
