Book Review: All the Bright Places

ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES by Jennifer Niven takes on a difficult subject that not everyone wants or knows how to talk about.

My lovely goddaughter told me it was her favorite book, so I had to read it.

Theodore Finch and Violet Markey meet during a dark period of both of their lives. Together they find adventure and beauty in "staying awake." I watched the Netflix version immediately afterwards, which was a good reliving of the novel, but lacked the depth, especially from Finch's POV.

Trigger warning: This book talks about suicide. Bring tissues.
