I started reading this book as a group read, otherwise I would never have come across it, but I am glad I did. I read in three sittings probably would have been two if i hadnt been disturbed by my BF for coming to bed.
First off I didnt cry! which is a disappointment after reading peoples reviews on this, I had my tissues ready but it just didnt happen, maybe I have a heart of stone or maybe there just wasnt enough emotion in the writing. This is what dropped it from a 5 star to a 4.
I loved Theadore Finch from the start and I slowly warmed to violet Markey who both attend Bartlett high and meet each other on the ledge of the bell tower,
Finch talking violet down, tells everyone its was Voilet that saved him and the relationship begins, mostly onesided at first but becomes more even throughout the book.
The main issues addressed in the book is suicide, accidentants, mental health and living, which makes me love the book and Jennifer Niven even more as she is trying to get across that your not alone and there are others and help is available. I don't often write reviews but I felt that I must.
I would recommend this book - but it's not like The fault in our stars as other reviews have noted, it's addressing a different message and the characters are not as pretentious.

So many mixed reviews
I surround myself with mental health communities as I suffer myself and have seen so many mixed reviews for this show. But having had depression throughout my school years I think this was a raw and real problem with school kids these days. I think so much more awareness has come from this programme and it shows that things that could seem so small to others can have a huge impact on the people around us. I don't think it glorifies suicide as a lot of people have mentioned, it shows how real and how easily something can hurt somebody without anyone else knowing. The end episode, for me, was a huge trigger and I think a warning should have been put on that. I know that has changed for season 2 though.
I enjoyed watching this, it was hard to watch, raw and I went through so many emotions.

So I’d like to reach out to you all and get suggestions in before I hit the bigger games. What would you like to see in the reviews and is there anything you’d like me to cover? I will admit cash flow is limited and I am hoping you will help me get going with the channel so I can monetise it and use that to get more games and content, better equipment and setup area as well as this attend gaming events to get to know the new games and stock up massively on them. Once it is going i do hope to do competitions of my own but, I am a way way off from doing that.
So if you have a moment could you look at the videos. I’d appreciate any feedback, I know they’re not the best reviews and it’s out my comfort zone. I just enjoy it and it saves me getting a second job.
