About this listen

This New York Times bestselling love story about two teens who find each other while standing on the edge is soon to be a Netflix film starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith!

Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might die. 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.

Critic reviews

“…this heartbreaking love story about two funny, fragile, and wildly damaged high school kids named Violet and Finch is worth reading. Niven is a skillful storyteller who never patronizes her characters – or her audience.”
Entertainment Weekly

“Many teen novels touch on similar themes, but few do it so memorably.”
Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"In her YA debut, adult author Niven creates a romance so fresh and funny. . . The journey to, through, and past tragedy is romantic and heartbreaking, as characters and readers confront darkness, joy, and the possibilities—and limits—of love in the face of mental illness.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“The writing in this heartrending novel is fluid, despite the difficult topics… Finch in particular will linger in readers’ minds long after the last page is turned.”
—School Library Journal, starred review

"Ultimately, the book, with narration that alternates between Finch and Violet, becomes Violet’s story of survival and recovery, affirming the value of loving deeply, grieving openly, and carrying your light forward."
The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

“Have The Fault in Our Stars withdrawal? Pick up this heartrending novel about a girl who vows to live with purpose after bonding with a boy who plans to end his own life.”
SELF Magazine

"It’s touching, vibrant, and an impressively honest depiction of depression."
— BuzzFeed

Would you try another book written by Jennifer Niven or narrated by Kirby Heyborne and Ariadne Meyers ?

Yes

Would you recommend All the Bright Places to your friends? Why or why not?

Probably not, unless they had read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green or Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell and even then I wouldn't say it was overy similar or any better or worse.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Not really.

Did All the Bright Places inspire you to do anything?

Keep listing my favourite words even when it feels like a drag.

Any additional comments?

Alternative not so predictiable ending might have boosted my enjoyment, experience and rating.

It was okay

I selected this book because it was said to be similar to The Fault In Our Stars but that is unfortunately not the case. The story is long-winded and the characters aren't strong enough. There were a few times when I almost gave up without finishing the book.

Disappointing

A beautiful story. Made me cry a few times but also made me remember all the things I shouldn't have been trying to forget.
I really felt like I could sympathise with Finch, and relate to his character.
Thank you.

A beautiful story.

Theodore Finch is real. He is within our hearts, forever. Let him be a constant reminder, to talk to each other. Always.
