All The Bright Places (Book Review)

Author: Jennifer Niven
Publisher: Knopf Publishing Group
First Published: January 6th, 2015

Synopsis: Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him.

Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death.
When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy who’s not such a freak after all. And it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink.

Synopsis: One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.


Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

A bit about me :)


Hi! 


My name is Sebastián (with the á). I'm 13 (turning 14 December 5th) years old and I'm from Chile :D (that's why the "á")

I like reading books and I also like to talk about them to other people, so they would read them in a near future.

I started this "talking about books" with a Youtube Channel which you can watch clicking here, but I haven't uploaded videos for 2 months now BUT I'm about to finish my school year (leaving 8th grade C':) so I'll be able to record, edit and upload more vids :DD.

I have a bit of an obsession with Ariana Grande (don't blame me) and basically I listen pop, rock, metal and almost any kind of music (hahaha my music taste is pretty weird :P).

So, yeah. That was a bit about me :) and don't forget to follow for future posts :D

Enjoy your reads and bye ;*
