“What if life could be this way? Only the happy parts, none of the terrible, not even the mildly unpleasant. A lot of people had warned me about this book, that it was going to make me super sad. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink. And it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. 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. When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. 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. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him. Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself.
