Book #146 All The Bright Places - Jennifer Niven Everyone should read this book. But also don’t, because you will fall in love with Finch. A story about a girl learning to live from a boy wanting to die. …. “For once, I don’t want to be anyone but Theodore Finch, the boy she sees. He understands what it is to be elegant and euphoric and a hundred different people, most of them flawed and stupid, part asshole, part screwup, part freak, a boy who wants to be easy for the folks around him so that he doesn’t worry them and, most of all, easy for himself. A boy who belongs—here in the world, here in his own skin. He is exactly who I want to be and what I want my epitaph to say: The Boy Violet Markey Loves.” …. “I can drive away right now. If I drive away, Theodore Finch is still somewhere in the world, living and wandering, even if it’s without me. My fingers are on the ignition key. Drive away.” …. “You make me happy, Whenever you’re around I’m safe inside your smile, You make me handsome, Whenever I feel my nose just seems a bit too round, You make me special, and God knows I’ve longed to be that kind of guy to have around, You make me love you, And that could be the greatest thing my heart was ever fit to do.… I am crying—loud and hiccuping, as if I’ve been holding my breath for a very long time and finally, finally can breathe. You make me lovely, and it’s so lovely to be lovely to the one I love.… I read and reread the words. You make me happy … You make me special … You make me lovely …” …. #ReadHarder #Bookstagram #SadBookBender #JenniferNiven #AllTheBrightPlaces https://www.instagram.com/p/CeqjwWRPbCM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
