About this listen

 This New York Times bestselling love story about two teens who find each other while standing on the edge is soon to be a Netflix film starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith!

Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might die. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him.

Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister's recent death.

When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it's unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the "natural wonders" of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It's only with Violet that Finch can be himself--a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy who's not such a freak after all. And it's only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet's world grows, Finch's begins to shrink.

What the critics say

“…this heartbreaking love story about two funny, fragile, and wildly damaged high school kids named Violet and Finch is worth reading. Niven is a skillful storyteller who never patronizes her characters – or her audience.”
— Entertainment Weekly

“Many teen novels touch on similar themes, but few do it so memorably.”
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"In her YA debut, adult author Niven creates a romance so fresh and funny. . . The journey to, through, and past tragedy is romantic and heartbreaking, as characters and readers confront darkness, joy, and the possibilities—and limits—of love in the face of mental illness.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“The writing in this heartrending novel is fluid, despite the difficult topics… Finch in particular will linger in readers’ minds long after the last page is turned.”
—School Library Journal, starred review

"Ultimately, the book, with narration that alternates between Finch and Violet, becomes Violet’s story of survival and recovery, affirming the value of loving deeply, grieving openly, and carrying your light forward."
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

“Have The Fault in Our Stars withdrawal? Pick up this heartrending novel about a girl who vows to live with purpose after bonding with a boy who plans to end his own life.”
— SELF Magazine

"It’s touching, vibrant, and an impressively honest depiction of depression."
— BuzzFeed

This book deals with acceptance and, by default, rejection at a number of different levels. Finch is not accepted by most of his peers and Violet has challenges accepting her sister's death. Through the story they move in almost opposite directions and both find acceptance in each other but ultimately need more. There are so many difficult teenage issues handled so well and done in such a way that invites reflection rather than judgement.
I was emotionally involved almost from the beginning and found the end to be both deflating and curiously positive. Survivor's deserve to live.

Acceptance is so difficult

This story has you rethinking the stigma that surrounds mental health disorders, it makes you think about how others are affected by your actions, and how others act around you. It will make you cry almost guaranteed but it's worth every tear.

Beautiful and inspiring

Really really great book

I had to force myself to get through this book. Since it's so popular, I gave it the benefit of doubt. Thinking it would pick up more in the middle. Hated the characters, the male voice over, the ending, everything basically.

incredibly, incredibly boring.
