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 sisterβs recent death.
When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, itβs unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the βnatural wondersβ of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: Itβs only with Violet that Finch can be himselfβa weird, funny, live-out-loud guy whoβs not such a freak after all. And itβs only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violetβs world grows, Finchβs begins to shrink.
This is an intense, gripping novel perfect for fans of Gayle Forman, Jay Asher, Rainbow Rowell, John Green, and Jenny Downham from a talented new voice in YA, Jennifer Niven.
