I found out about this book through the Vlogger/Blogger Zoella. It was a book she had read and recommended through a favourite video. I watched the video and thought it sounded like a good book that would be easy to read and not overly enjoy.
Oh boy, was I wrong..
All the bright places is about two characters who meet in an unlikely place and both develop a friendship through a geography project. Theodore (kudos to the name btw) has always shown an interest to killing himself and plans many ways to kill himself. Violet, believed she had it all. Popularity, friendships, boyfriend and an amazing sister. Until one day she loses her sister and she loses herself to grief. They meet on top of a bell tower and there begins the unlikely friendship between the two characters.
Reason why I loved this book. One: it really was an easy read. Two: it really was extremely gripping, I was immediately absorbed into this book. Drifting away into the world of the two characters. I was gripped into their lives and felt bonded with them. Yes, I did get emotionally attached to the characters like I always do when I read a book or watch a film. So it is not surprising that in the end I was drawn to tears.
It's very rare to read a book that is very easy to read and completely captures your whole attention. I really did struggle to put it down. I was also woken up, after reading that book I felt inspired to get out there live a little more with a few more adventures and to keep trying to be more happy.
NB: I am currently feeling as I haven't done much from that new inspiration to live a happier life and to work. But then again, it only has been a couple of months since reading the book and these things take time and hard work. Which I am working on.
Claire.
