All the Bright Places
by Jennifer Niven
Now a major Netflix film starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith.
A compelling and beautiful story about a girl who learns to live from a boy who's drawn to death.
Theodore Finch tries to look for good things in the world, even if sometimes he doesn't always find them.
Violet Markey exists for the future, counting the days until she can escape her Indiana town and its painful memories of her sister.
When they meet on the ledge of a tower, what might have been their end turns into their beginning.
It's only with Violet that Finch can truly be himself - a funny guy who actually wants to experience the joy in life.
And when Violet's with Finch, she forgets to wish away the days and starts to live them.
But as Violet's world grows, Finch's begins to shrink. He's trying to cling on to his bright places, but will it be enough this time?
