My First Read of 2023

I hope this message finds you well. I just finished reading a beautiful and heart-wrenching novel called "All the Bright Places" by Jennifer Niven. This book tells the story of Violet Markey and Theodore Finch, two high school students who are struggling with their own personal demons.

Violet is still grieving the loss of her sister, and Theodore is struggling with mental illness. Despite their differences, they form a deep connection and embark on a journey to discover the beauty in the world around them. Along the way, they must confront their own dark thoughts and come to terms with their pasts.

"All the Bright Places" is a powerful and emotional read that tackles important issues such as mental health and grief. Niven's writing is raw and honest, and her characters are complex and relatable. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good love story with a bit of depth.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. I hope you consider giving "All the Bright Places" a chance and perhaps find as much enjoyment in it as I did.
