🌸”I was here.” -T. F.🌸
How has it been ten years since this book first came out???😭 where has the time gone?🥺
All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven is one of THE best books depicting mental illness I’ve ever read, hands down. The story is about a boy named Finch who helps out a girl named Violet away the edge of the clock tower. From there, a budding friendship forms through lines from Virginia Woolf’s “The Waves” and a class project all about wandering Indiana. As Violet slowly begins to heal, Finch continues to dissipate. Eventually, not even love can save him from the edge and he departs into The Blue Hole for good, but he leaves traces of himself for Violet to find, reminders that she’s not alone💙
This book breaks my heart without fail every time I read it💔 and yet, I feel a small part of me heal through the words of Finch and Violet. A few years ago, I decided to immortalize a few tender moments from the book and finally help myself heal from my past rock bottom choices. The catharsis of seeing something so beautiful and meaningful over a part of my body I’ve despised for a long time is unmatched🌸🐦
I genuinely cannot recommend this book enough. Jennifer has my entire heart and she has made me feel so lovely over the past decade💕 also, a massive shoutout to Gianna for the loveliest knit cardigan!
