All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

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?

4.5 stars in fact. But it’s closer to 5. It’s just not really the 5. And it has everything to do with the start of the book. I found it hard to follow Finch and understand him, while violet on the other hand, was clear to follow. However, when I got to the middle of the book, everything clicked and it was very hard to put it down. Trust me, it’s getting intense and if you cry whilst reading, I recommend you to have loads of tissues ready.
