All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

Did you fall in love with Hazel and Augustus from The Fault in Our Stars?  Then meet a new couple that save each other from a life filled with despair: Violet and Finch.  All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven introduces a new duo that find themselves on top of the school tower, not entirely sure who saved whom.  Yet, as these stories go, they do end up knowing each other better and of course, falling for each other.

Violet finds herself falling apart after experiencing her older sister’s death in a car crash.  Violet and her sister wrote a blog together but the loss of such a dear friend seems to have ruined writing for Violet forever.  She barely finds herself living life until the day she meets Finch on top of the school’s tower.

Finch struggles through life, living with his divorced mother and suffering through Sunday dinners with his remarried father.  He is renowned through the school for being a freak and only has a few chosen friends.  That is, until Violet comes into his life and the two are assigned to a class project together.

All the Bright Places is one of those timeless novels about two people finding love when they need it most and finally living their lives to the fullest.  They grow closer together and discover new things about themselves they never would have found otherwise.  Without each other life would have had no meaning. Yet even with their happiness, some despair just never seems to go away.  If you wish to find out what happens to our two protagonists, read All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven.
