About this listen

This New York Times bestselling love story about two teens who find each other while standing on the edge is soon to be a Netflix film starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith!

Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might die. 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.

Critic Reviews

“…this heartbreaking love story about two funny, fragile, and wildly damaged high school kids named Violet and Finch is worth reading. Niven is a skillful storyteller who never patronizes her characters – or her audience.”
Entertainment Weekly

“Many teen novels touch on similar themes, but few do it so memorably.”
Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"In her YA debut, adult author Niven creates a romance so fresh and funny. . . The journey to, through, and past tragedy is romantic and heartbreaking, as characters and readers confront darkness, joy, and the possibilities—and limits—of love in the face of mental illness.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“The writing in this heartrending novel is fluid, despite the difficult topics… Finch in particular will linger in readers’ minds long after the last page is turned.”
—School Library Journal, starred review

"Ultimately, the book, with narration that alternates between Finch and Violet, becomes Violet’s story of survival and recovery, affirming the value of loving deeply, grieving openly, and carrying your light forward."
The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

“Have The Fault in Our Stars withdrawal? Pick up this heartrending novel about a girl who vows to live with purpose after bonding with a boy who plans to end his own life.”
SELF Magazine

"It’s touching, vibrant, and an impressively honest depiction of depression."
— BuzzFeed

Sweet Survival!!

As a Mental awareness month read, I picked this book, famously promoted as next 'the Fault in Our Stars', but, boy was I so wrong and overwhelmed!

This concept may be of YA fiction genre but it has compassionately highlighted on topics of depression, bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, teenage struggles, and lastly, consequences by disoriented family situations.

While first half is beautiful, romantic, exploring the unknown and usual high school drama stuff, it's the Theodore's insights that gradually affects our view more impactful that evolves novel into the concept it stands for. We as a reader get to understand him better through his natural response towards Violet's struggles.

There have been times where author has truthfully reflected our society's response towards mental health issues and how it is problematic. Two of these my favourite quotes goes like, "growing out of labels is hard than growing out of clothes" & "you're not sick until it's measurable by thermometer!" Ugh!!

All I can conclude is that Surviving is applauding and recovering from which hasn't even been diagnosed should be a prime talk.

And this Novel is also recommended for people who want to read YA genre that has more than normal cute romance story.

Sweet Survival!!
