What I do remember is Finch. And when I reread it, he was just as amazing as I remembered him to be.
Whether it was the intention or not, Finch was the star of this show and Violet very much felt like a stepping stone on his journey, though I think the intention was for the opposite. I will always love Finch is some capacity, in some ways he shaped my views as a young teenager and reading this now as a 24 year old adult, roughly 10 years later, it’s just as impactful.
My reading tastes have changed - darker, more depraved and significantly spicier but this is still a book I can appreciate. In part for the nostalgia and in part because of Finch and his character.
Books don’t make me cry. To make me cry is a feat and during this reread, though teary eyed, none fell. But I remember being a teen and sobbing when I realised Finch was gone and I had to face the rest of the book without him. Much like Violet faces the rest of her life without him.
I am all the better for knowing Finch, real or not.
I recommend this book to everyone. Though, mind your triggers.
