All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
4.0
3.5/5
I kinda sorta hate this book. I cried. I wanted to throw it against the wall. I wanted more. I connected too deeply and it hit too close to home. But it didn't all at the same time. I loved it. I hated it. I don't really know which I feel more.
The writing had a disconnected tone about it, which really helped in those scenes of utter darkness and drowning. But it didn't work so well for the rest.
I like the characters. Theo was odd. Violet was normal. I don't really know. It was all too similar to The Fault in Our Stars.
I expected it to happen, the ending I mean, but I wanted something different so badly. Because I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest now, and I hate it when that happens. It's a whirlwind of emotions that you can't escape, even if you're an unfeeling robot like me.
