This book gave me one of those rare moments when I didn't want to put it down. Which of course is a good thing! 
 This fantastic book is about a boy called Finch and a girl named Violet who both think about dying but don't actually want to. They meet on the top of the school bell tower while thinking of jumping off. But...they don't. And they end up getting involved in a school project together where they travel all over Indiana and "wander" to different places. 
 The characters were so great. Finch really made the story for me. It's hard to believe that someone so obsessed with dying can have such a positive outlook on life. Often times, I was confused on why he wanted to die so much because he doesn't really show the symptoms of someone who wants to kill himself. But he was a victim of bullying, some physical abuse from his father, and his parents were recently divorced so I can see how that could lead to his depression. But I love how positive he is and his sarcasm is hilarious. 
 I didn't love Violet as much as Finch but she was still a very interesting character and I felt a lot of pity for her since she lost her sister in a car accident. Months later, she's still trying to recover from it and this tragedy has led to her depression as well as PTSD. She really didn't have a positive personality until she met Finch. And I think her character development was all because of Finch and how he showed her a positive outlook on life. I think she is the most well developed character in this book going from someone who was initially hopeless to finding the means to be happy. 
 The romance was sweet. I don't think it was the most well developed romance I've ever read about, but I still thought it was cute. I'm definitely team Finch and Violet, I think they bring out so many good things in each other. And I think their romance was believable for two teenagers. 
 (view spoiler)[ And now for the ending. So halfway through this book I suddenly remember hearing that it was sad and I was like, oh crap. Because I was really in love with both Violet and Finch and I just knew one of them was going to kill themselves. I was more so thinking it was going to be Finch and, low and behold, I was right. Have you ever had that feeling when a character you really love dies and it feels like you can't even breathe, or think, or read anymore? I got that with Finch's death and the tears started to flow. And his death was kind of brutal since he drowned. And now I think after finishing this book, I'll be depressed for a few days. D: It's hard to believe someone so positive would just kill himself. I wish being with Violet would have been enough for him to keep living and I kind of resent him for just leaving her. I can just imagine how Violet must be feeling after loosing her sister and now a boy she grew to love. It just sucks. (hide spoiler)] 
 I'm looking forward to re-reading this again someday. And I'm excited to read Jennifer Niven's new book "Holding Up the Universe" because it sounds so good. I'll have a review on my YouTube channel for "All the Bright Places" soon. :D
