Significant glorification of mental illness, high school stereotypes, and suicide. Romanticized it wayyyyy too much, which I found abhorrent and unpleasant. I forced myself to finish it but wouldn't recommend to others.

I admit I struggled  connecting with either Finch or Violet. I will not speak about the accuracy of the portrayal of bipolar disorder since I don't have that illness but I have not particularly liked or care for the characters. Not the way I should have. Maybe I'm simply outgrowing YA. Maybe Jennifer Niven's writing just isn't my vibe.

I loved this book. From the beginning, the characters were lovable and easy to understand. Despite being very different people, Violet and Finch connected. The connection was not immediate. The ending of the book was devastating but made sense. The world is not all flowers and rainbows.

I would say l this is like the fault in our stars but about mental health. The characters are written in a John green style so especially the female characters seem a bit underdeveloped and unrealistic. I picked this up randomly and at points felt I was forcing myself to get through it. Saying that it’s an interesting read to be from the perspective of someone suicidal
