Review of All the Bright Places-Jennifer Niven

Now I understand all of the awards and accolades for this book!  This incredible novel is lyrical and heartbreaking, with believable characters and situations.  Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at their high school and both of them, for different reasons, are in despair.  Without the ledge, they would never have met, since Violet is popular and Finch is a "freak".  But, they find strength in each other.  As Violet begins to find her way out of depression, can Finch find his way?  No spoilers here - you'll just have to read this remarkable book.  Unforgettable!  4 Elves - Highly recommended for teens and adults who remember what it was like to be a teen
