The Fault in Our Stars meets Eleanor and Park in this exhilarating and heart-wrenching love story about a girl who learns to live from a boy who intends to die.
Soon to be a major motion picture starring Elle Fanning!
Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him.
Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death.
When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy who’s not such a freak after all. And it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink.
This is an intense, gripping novel perfect for fans of Jay Asher, Rainbow Rowell, John Green, Gayle Forman, and Jenny Downham from a talented new voice in YA, Jennifer Niven.

My Thoughts
Moody Finch...nerdy Finch...angry Finch...gone Finch...
There are a great many sides to Theodore Finch, and because he takes the time to see Violet Markey, on the day that she most wants to be invisible, he will allow her to glimpse the real Finch.
This beautifully lyrical tale of love, loss, bipolar disorder, and suicide, tells a story as a series of days, journeys, and experiences. Moments shared between Finch and Violet. Moments before and after the car accident that took the life of Violet's older sister. Moments spent by both Violet and Finch trying to be whole, alive, and in the moment. Moments lost to Finch's bouts with the darkest of dark moods. Moments during which speeding mania allows Finch to fly...too far...too fast. Moments spent in awed discovery of the sights that must be seen in their home state of Indiana. Moments of regret, anger, hurt, and remorse at Finch's death. Moments Violet grasps as opportunities to express her feelings, learn, and live.
This story serves as a brilliant and poignant homage to the fleeting and transitory nature of
life. The need to love, be loved, to understand, be understood, to listen, and to be heard.
