All the Bright Places: Review

  One of my favorite types of videos to watch on Youtube is a favorites video, so as I was watching

Zoe Suggs, June favorites, and she mentioned the book; "All the Bright Places", by Jennifer Niven. I was very intrigued in what this book was, so I looked online and the books description sounded very interesting to me. The book is described as a high school teenager falling into a deep depression but he meets this girl and she brings back his will to live, and it is the same for the main girl character, Violet, because she went through a very traumatizing experience leaving her with little to no reason to live until she met Theodore Finch.

     Now I did feel like I had heard this story plot many times before, but the way Jennifer, wrote this book, she made it seem very real. The book starts out with the two meeting in an odd place and situation. You have the popular girl Violet Markey, wanting to reach the highest she could go, which was the schools' bell tower and then you have the weird kid, Theodore Finch, whose usual place is the bell tower. This was before school started so people were lingering outside and from their perspective, it looked like Theodore was trying to kill himself but Violet came in and rescued him from it, while it was actually the opposite way around. This is a key point that comes up throughout the book because every one after that point started to to think that Violet was the hero and Theodore was some depressed kid, when actually Violet, is the depressed girl and Theodore, is the hero. 

Author: Jennifer Niven

     In the book you will read and find out why Violet, has these thoughts of depression and how she gets through it with the help of Theodore, and what Violet also overcomes from her traumatic experience. At some parts in the book I was a little iffy on whether that actually would happen in really life, but for the most part Jennifer, kept the book pretty close to what reality is really like and she truly did a good job at showing the readers all of the characters personalities and how they grew throughout the story. 

   
      I would definitely recommend this book to people who want to read a more drama/ overcoming fears fiction book. I feel like this book is for anyone because yes it may be a bit depressing, but it is nice to read a book that shows what life is really about and coming out of your shell. Personally when I read this book, I could not put it down because every chapter had a new twist or turn.
