1st Book Review: All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

This was a beautiful book. It really highlights the issues todays society, and raise awareness of suicide. 'All the bright places' is a new take on the classic boy meets girl which tells the tale of Violet Markey, who is traumatised by a car accident, her sister died in, and Theodore Finch, a suicidal teen contemplating which day would be the best day to die. The reader is taken on an adventure, and Finch helps Violet to explore, and enjoy all the things she had been afraid to do, but as Violet really starts living, will Theodore get closer to dying? This inspiring and tragic book, was a masterpiece, and heart-wrenching, but will there be a happy ending? Find out for yourself!

Written by Jasmine Brame in hope to encourage people to read, escape reality and join the world of fantasy. Love ya xx
