I had read that so many people really liked this book but I really struggled to get through it. Not because of the subject matter but it just didn't really grasp my interest. I liked the alternating voices in the chapters with Violet and Finch. 
 Speaking Violet and Finch, I liked Finch even though he really wasn't stable and I'm mad at his parents for just pushing it to the side. He was comical throughout the book but I think it was due to the fact that he was suffering. I wasn't a fan of Violet in the beginning of the story but after developing the relationship with Finch, she changed for the better. I think she was able to survive through the story was because her home life was better than Finch's even though she did loose her sister to the accident. 
 I think this is a really good book for high school students to read because of the subject matter. It is a hard subject but I think the author did a great job of telling the story.
