Usually when it comes to debatable matters, I'm open minded to both sides. But when it comes to this, it's pissing me off because I wouldn't expect that Jennifer Niven would have haters about her writing and story ideas. I'm reading comments such as "stop romanticizing mental illness" or "everything about it is offensive" and all that crap. With her book All The Bright Places, the story behind Finch was suicide. 
 For all of you complaining that she should "stop romanticizing mental illness" should fucking pick up the book again and read the whole damn thing because most of the people that are saying this probably never even read it in the first place. 
 ATBP ISN'T JUST A ROMANTIC BOOK. I don't understand why all of you get so judgemental about it because this book had a deeper meaning than 2 people just simply falling in love. I swear to God if you were looking for a sappy romantic novel, then you're in the wrong place and you have no right to judge because you don't know the full understanding behind it. Jennifer wrote this book in hopes of reaching out to people who are troubled in life in hopes that somehow she would get to help them. To all her haters, I'm sorry if your life is so perfect okay. I'm sorry if your toughest problem in life is about your boyfriend not texting you back. 
 You fail to realize that there are fucking 7 billion people in the world and they all have different personalities and different lives. PEOPLE AREN'T PERFECT. NO ONE IS. Just because an author decided to put a romantic concept in a mental illness story doesn't mean she's offending those who go through it. In fact she's doing the complete opposite. 
 Do you think a 15 year old going through a mental illness will pick up a self help book written by a person who has a professional medical license? What will she understand there? NOTHING. Because with that type of book, that 15 year old will then realize that there IS something wrong with her and it will lead to the fact that she's not accepted in society. With ATBP, that kid will learn that she is not alone. That kid will understand that there are people just like her. And for me, that can do a lot already. Through her book, she's sending a message to our generation that we don't live in a perfect world. We don't know how people think and we have no right to judge them. 
 And now with her new book, if you don't want to read it because you find it "offensive" then fine don't read it. No one is fucking forcing you but don't drag other people down who actually wants to read it because again you don't know their story. I know that it's your own opinion but if you're just simply judging it because it's not a "perfect love story" type of book then I suggest you go far far away because this book isn't it. And if you think it's "offensive" why not open your mind a little bit? Do you really think Jennifer will still be a respected author now if all she does is "offend" people through her books? Didn't think so.
