The New York Times bestselling love story about two teens who find each other while standing on the edge.
Theodore Finch is fascinated by death. Every day he thinks of ways he might kill himself, but every day he also searches for and manages to find something to keep him here, and alive, and awake.
Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her small 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 six stories above the ground it s unclear who saves whom. Soon it s only with Violet that Finch can be himself. 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. . . .

Rezension:
this heartbreaking love story about two funny, fragile, and wildly damaged high school kids named Violet and Finch is worth reading. Niven is a skillful storyteller who never patronizes her characters or her audience.
Entertainment Weekly
Many teen novels touch on similar themes, but few do it so memorably.
Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"In her YA debut, adult author Niven creates a romance so fresh and funny. . . The journey to, through, and past tragedy is romantic and heartbreaking, as characters and readers confront darkness, joy, and the possibilities and limits of love in the face of mental illness.
Publishers Weekly, starred review
The writing in this heartrending novel is fluid, despite the difficult topics Finch in particular will linger in readers minds long after the last page is turned.
School Library Journal, starred review
"Ultimately, the book, with narration that alternates between Finch and Violet, becomes Violet s story of survival and recovery, affirming the value of loving deeply, grieving openly, and carrying your light forward."
The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Have The Fault in Our Stars withdrawal? Pick up this heartrending novel about a girl who vows to live with purpose after bonding with a boy who plans to end his own life.
SELF Magazine
"It s touching, vibrant, and an impressively honest depiction of depression."
