yk what i just love from the last two books i've read? when the peculiar, interesting character is EXTREMELY intrigued by the shy or introverted character and the introvert just doesn't understand why. bonus points if they fall in love. MY FAVORITE TROPE. EVER.

Dude. I can’t not explain the pain and feelings I feel after reading this book. The way she goes and finds these things after him and his letters and all that bullshit then she visits the blue hole? This entire book was spent on her getting through her issues and Finch showing us how he saw the world and all their wandering and time together sucks to look back on knowing what they had. Devastating ass book. Time to watch the movie and get upset when it dosent have parts in it that should’ve been in it.

“Aprendi que há coisas boas neste mundo, se você procurar bastante. Aprendi que nem todo mundo é decepcionante, inclusive eu, e que uma elevação de 1.257 pés no solo pode parecer mais alta do que um campanário se você estiver ao lado da pessoa certa.”

ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES by JENNIFER NIVEN
RATING 9 / 10
TRIGGER WARNING Heavy topics; mentions of suicide, death and harm / self-harm.
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD!
I picked up Niven's novel after finishing the movie adaptation on Netflix. The movie tore me apart and cut through my heart with a clean rip. I cried an entire night over the story of Theodore Finch and Violet Markey, so I knew what I was getting into when I began to fall into the pages of this book.
"There's no rush of having survived, only emptiness, and lungs that need air, and wet hair sticking to my face." pg. 107
Chapters alternated between being told by Violet and Finch. Some chapters were long, coherent paragraphs and organized thoughts; others were short, erratic words like a frazzled mind. The writing was personable, like an actual high schooler had thought these very things. I took to heart how these characters felt, and maybe it's because I myself am emotional, but there was something so vivid and raw and relatable about the ways in which Violet experienced her traumas and how caged in Finch always felt.
"But does forever have a built-in ending . . . ?" pg. 215
Grief has been apparent since the very beginning of the novel with Eleanor's death rippling through Violet like a festering pool of guilt, shame and depression. It's odd but hopeful how quickly love (even young love) could blossom where water didn't fall and sun didn't shine — because that's exactly how Violet and Finch got together. They united under the chaos of Life's hurdles, and they fell fast. (I'm reminiscent of my own past loves.) It's easier to assume in a story like this that their love caused the fizzled embers of Finch's life to go out completely, but I think it's clear that Niven — with her own encounters with suicide — wanted to remind her readers that even though a reason might not be enough, there is still a life after for survivors, which Violet finds.
"It's only when you panic that you pull yourself under and sink." pg. 245
One of the most significant messages that Niven leaves her readers with is how the difference in Eleanor and Finch's passing can't have been more separate. Where Mrs. and Mr. Markey understand the grief of a parent losing a child, they're unforgiving to Finch's parents because more could have been done. But more could have always been done; it's not the point. This is not the time for blame and "what if's." Death isn't merciful per say in the way that both Finch and Eleanor left on equal footing. They're both gone and leave grief in their wake — grief that isn't told apart by the how's and why's. Why is Finch considered selfish when he felt like he had no choice? It's not up to us judge someone who's been fighting all their life; it's on us to figure out how to take preventative steps next time and learn to continue on after.
"Forever changed. I am forever changed." pg. 349
In her Author's Note, Niven reminds us that we're not alone and that help is just around the corner, so I leave you all on a similar note.
Take it from someone who's been there, in all the places Finch has been, things do get better. Even when the world feels like a black hole, don't let yourself sink in. Don't give up.

The fact is, I was sick, but not in an easily explained flu kind of way. It’s my experience that people are a lot more sympathetic if they can see you hurting, and for the millionth time in my life I wish for measles or smallpox or some other recognizable disease just to make it simple for me and also for them.
