Summary:

This book revolves around Theo and Violet. Life has been hard for Violet after her sisters death and Theo known as the school freak, struggles with bipolar depression. They meet unexpectedly on the top of the bell tower and they’re both there for the same reason. It’s unclear who saves whom but everyone’s calling Violet, the girl who saved the freak, a hero. They travel the states together and discover a lot more than the wonders of their surroundings. With Violet, Theo can be his weird, funny self. And with Theo, Violet doesn’t count days, instead she lives them. But is being together enough for Theo?

Review:

(Spoiler alert)This book doesn't end the way you would expect it to, it doesn't give you the typical YA novel happily ever after.Though it is a beautiful depiction of how even the most damaged are capable of love. According to me, it doesn't do right by Violet who's already lost and gone through so much. In the moment at the bell tower it is unclear who saves whom but it doesn't really matter as Theo dies nonetheless. It gave both of them an idea of what could be but deep down both of them knew the clock was ticking. It gave them hope only to shatter it.
