But this isn't your classic boy meets girl. The two find each other in the unlikeliest of places, atop a bell tower. Now, as Finch constantly insists upon meeting Violet, destiny heeds his pleas as they work together on a project; finding wonders in local areas. It is a book I recommend for mature readers.
The story brings a touching tale and a message to live life beautifully, through the narration of both Theodore and Violet. This is not a trashy romance though. The romance in “All the Bright Places” is delicately written, speaking for those who find life too overwhelming. With a bundle of adventure, romance, tear-jerking moments and a bitter-sweet ending, what's stopping you from reading it?
