Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might die. 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.

Timothy R. ★★★★★

I loved how the book dives deep into Violet’s countdown mindset and Finch’s battle with his own thoughts, making their connection feel raw and real. The writing pulled me in from the first page, and I finished it in two days.

Stella Y. ★★★★★

The way the story shifts between Finch's dark thoughts and Violet's hope pulled me right in. That small, consistent glimmer of something good stopping Finch from acting felt incredibly real. I finished it in two sittings.

Julian ★★★★★

The way Finch’s obsession with death is balanced by those small, hopeful moments feels so real and raw. I stayed up way too late finishing it, and the ending really stuck with me.
