What this book is about
Theodore Finch is obsessed with death and is, by his own admission, not okay. Violet Markey is grieving her sister. They meet on a school rooftop and begin a project exploring Indiana's blue holes and natural wonders together. All the Bright Places is one of the most discussed YA mental health novels—and one of the most controversial for how it ends.
