All the bright places is a heart breaking and beautiful story. It is probably one of my favorite contemporary novels. Violet Markey and Theodore Finch who meet at their school’s bell tower ledge thinking about suicide.

Violet has lost her sister to a car accident on the other hand finch is called as a freak everywhere he goes. Later in a class project comes they have to partner up with someone and explore their state. Finch nominates Violet as his partner and the story begins.

The ending was truly sad, and nobody should ever have to face such tragedies in their lives. The major theme of book, All the bright places is suicide. It shows how a person who teaches you to live your life to the fullest can be breaking from inside.

Depression is the ugly truth of life. Smile is the mask that effectively conceals suffering that no one save the individual who choose to fight this battle alone can even tell what went wrong.

Life is just too hard sometimes. It strangles you in a way that you don’t know what to do and how to be positive. You just get so disappointed with the things around you that you can’t stop thinking bad about yourself.

You can’t explain this feeling and can’t even share with others because of the fear to be judged. People don’t understand you. They say they do but ask you to move on and say the motivational things to you. So, seems like the only option left is to hide your feelings and thoughts.

You don’t need answers sometimes you just want to share your actual thoughts without any judgements. I am not the one who usually cry reading books but this one did it. Absolutely and positively recommended. There is also a movie adaption of this book All the bright places. But I did not think it give the justice to the book.
