At the start of the book both teens have suicidal thoughts, but Finch manages to talk Violet off of a ledge and Violet becomes Finch’s new reason for living. It is heavily implied that he is also bi-polar. Finch has a long history of acting out and having sudden extreme mood swings. Violet’s sister died in a car accident the previous year and Violet blames herself for it. I’d like to warn the reader up front that this review will have some pretty big spoilers.Īll the Bright Places is about two teens with depression. All the Bright Places is a beautifully written book that is, at times, very difficult to read. No matter how good or bad the book was, I knew a story about depression was likely to trigger my own.

I went into All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven with my guard up.
