Review/analysis :

Theodore finch wants to Die.

Despite all his efforts, something good  always happens and stops him every times.

He is a scared boy with a mental illness he refuses to accept but between his peers he is known and famous as a rebel, an outcast and a freak.

His depression always kicks in which makes me wants to commit suicide frequently, which he fails to attempt.

Violet Markey is the other main character of this novel; she used to be one of the most popular girls in school, a cheerleader who’s dating a baseball player, running a website, everything was perfect until she gets into an accident which she posts her sister in, she becomes the Markey sister that survived, her life’s changes completely , she becomes self-conscious and avoiding all sorts of attention, she losts all her passions and started counting days til graduation so she can leave town.

Violet and Theodore met on the school’s roof where they both were considering attempting suicide, and Finch talks her out of it , they ended up paired in a geography project so they develop a friendship and then a romance .

Theodore helps violet out of depression and helps her heal, get back to writing, Opening up about her loss and reconnecting with the world, she becomes Theodore’s reason to stay awake but would she helps him survive?

Personal opinion : the book is beautifully written and well crafted, though the sadness it kept engaged in reading and I just want to keep reading and reading and reading...it filled me with so much emotions,  I laughed and cried, the writer has done incredible job, the story and characters were perfectly crafted .

The story jumped from an point of view to another which made it easier to understand the characters more and more.

 I totally recommend this book though depression and suicid are the main themes here which may not be good for some readers but Generally you should consider reading it, it worth the read.

Favourite quote : you make me lovely, and it’s so lovely to be lovely to the one I love.
