We learn that finch is failing school and violet lost her sister, since then she has become withdrawn from society, she does have friends but has lost interest in doing anything with them.
Finch starts to take an interest in violet, he asks her to be his partner in a class project and sings to her in an Instagram post to get her to talk to him. This works and they meet up to talk. This starts the beginning of a friendship between the pair, which of course turns to romance.
I quite enjoyed the movie. it's not your typical romance movie, both characters are vulnerable and trying to save each other. I felt the characters worked very well together, but I did find it disappointing that we don't know much about finch the way we do about violet.

I can now see why I gave up on this book. The plot itself is a great idea, and similar in a way to the wonderful 1984. However unlike 1984, I found this book to be very poorly executed and i just couldn't get into the writing style at all. I love the idea of a dystopian future, but a lot of the features of this future society feel like they've been named by a child and a lot aren't explained enough to truly comprehend what's going on. The writing style too comes across as very confused and I really struggled with it. The characters are a good idea and flawed, but rather underdeveloped. In fact the whole book feels quite underdeveloped and its only a chapter or so at the end that I truly enjoyed.
I really wish this had been better written, as it's a fantastic idea for a novel.

The plot: After a scientist living in a posh apartment complex slaughters a teen girl and kills himself, investigators discover that the murderer had been carrying on experiments involving deadly parasites. Roger St. Luc (Paul Hampton), a doctor living in the building, and his aide, Nurse Forsythe (Lynn Lowry), then realize that the parasites are on the loose, attacking fellow tenants. And those who become hosts turn into erotically obsessed maniacs who pass the bugs on through violent sex.
It was also known as The Parasite Murders and They Came from Within, and, for the French-Canadian distribution, Frissons). The original shooting title was Orgy of the Blood Parasites.
Shivers was Cronenberg's first feature film, and was the most profitable Canadian film made to date in 1975, but was so controversial that the Parliament of Canada debated its social and artistic value and effect upon society, because of objections to its sexual and violent content.
Its disturbing but a excellent film.
