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.
