I picked this one up from my sister's library. It was actually my gift to her for her birthday. My sister read it before me and unfortunately I saw her reading it. I'm saying unfortunately because this was some kind of spoiler for me. I saw her with red eyes and nose which meant she was crying. And all the time while reading I kept thinking when will the sad part start. At the end I wasn't crying so hard as my sister, but I can say that this is that kind of book that leaves you thinking about life.
Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. 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. How far will Violet go to save the boy she has come to love?

“I learned that there is good in this world, if you look hard enough for it. I learned that not everyone is disappointing, including me, and that a 1,257-foot bump in the ground can feel higher than a bell tower if you’re standing next to the right person.”
“When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don’t seem to matter very much, do they?”

“Listen, I’m the freak. I’m the weirdo. I’m the troublemaker. I start fights. I let people down. Don’t make Finch mad, whatever you do. Oh, there he goes again, in one of his moods. Moody Finch. Angry Finch. Unpredictable Finch. Crazy Finch. But I’m not a compilation of symptoms. Not a casualty of shitty parents and an even shittier chemical makeup. Not a problem. Not a diagnosis. Not an illness. Not something to be rescued. I’m a person.”
“For what it's worth, you showed me something, Ultraviolet - there is such a thing as a perfect day.”
“I mean, I know but I don't. I've always been different, but to me different is normal.”
Have you raed it? What are your thoughts on it?
Have a great day :)
