Publisher's Summary
This New York Times best-selling 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.
Please note: Includes a PDF Help Line Resource Guide, available in your Audible Library, and a Note read by the author.
What the critics say
"Many teen novels touch on similar themes, but few do it so memorably." (Kirkus Reviews)
"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)
"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)

Acceptance is so difficult
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.

Beautiful and inspiring
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.

incredibly, incredibly boring.
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.
