ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES

Author:  Jennifer Nivens
Genre:  YA Fiction, Standalone
Published:  2015
Personal Rating:  2.5/5 (eh)
Format/Narrator:  Audiobook/Kirby Heyborne
& Ariadne Meyers
Yearly Count:  66


Finch & Violet meet on the ledge of a school bell tower.  Under the stressful situation, a relationship buds, then blooms.

I can absolutely see the references to The Fault in Our Stars (3/5) and Eleanor & Park (4/5).  But for this book, it wasn't too long before I started not buying in.  Sadly, I didn't even care about either of the main characters.  Too unrealistic.  There ended up being so much that I just didn't believe that my rating ends up below TFioS, and I'm disappointed.  It appears to be another YA book that works best for YAs.
