About this ebook
Now a major Netflix film starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith.
A compelling and beautiful story about a girl who learns to live from a boy who's drawn to death.
Theodore Finch tries to look for good things in the world, even if sometimes he doesn't always find them.
Violet Markey exists for the future, counting the days until she can escape her Indiana town and its painful memories of her sister.
When they meet on the ledge of a tower, what might have been their end turns into their beginning.
It's only with Violet that Finch can truly be himself - a funny guy who actually wants to experience the joy in life.
And when Violet's with Finch, she forgets to wish away the days and starts to live them.
But as Violet's world grows, Finch's begins to shrink. He's trying to cling on to his bright places, but will it be enough this time?

Painfully beautiful. I read this book after watching the Netflix Series, and the show doesn't do the book justice (in my opinion). The book is so beautifully written - sad but hopeful. I knew the ending already, but I still found myself wishing and hoping for a different outcome. Would definitely read again 🥰

It has been expertly crafted. You laugh, cringe and cry....and cry some more. It's definitely one to read if you're into deep philosophical flawed romantic characters who frustrate you but then understand in the end.

One of the best most heartwarming books I ever read. You can relate to both characters in many different ways and the way the story is written is beautiful. I cried. 100% reccommend
