All The Bright Places has a special meaning to me. It got me through hard periods. It got me through my social anxiety and my depression. It reminded me what it was like to live. I owe my life to this book.
I read this book at the beginning of the year, in February I believe, and I loved it. I could relate to Violet and Finch a lot and I loved both of them.
The writing of the book is great. You can easily fall in love with the characters without knowing that you’re making a really stupid decision.
This book makes you cry, smile, laugh. It gives you all the feels. Most importantly, this book makes you want to live.
I thank Jennifer Niven for this book. It was there when I needed it most.
For those of you who are wondering: I don’t have a depression anymore. I’ve suffered from it for 1,5 year and that was long enough for me. My social anxiety is also gone. I’ve had social anxiety for 5 years and it was a hard time for me.
Of course I can’t simply leave the past behind me when it’s still so close to me. But you can focus on other things the good things.
Remember: there are always people who want you to live. There will always be people that will cry when you’re dead. Do you want those people to feel the same as you felt? You matter. Stay alive. Don’t give up. Keep fighting. Most importantly: enjoy.
