Rezension von Caroll-Ann📖 All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫✨ 3.75 stars I had this book on my TBR for quite a while and finally decided to pick it up. I honestly don’t even remember why I added it or how much I knew about the story, so I went into it almost completely blind and I’m glad I did. The story follows Violet and Finch, two teenagers who meet under rather unusual circumstances and slowly become closer. While Violet is struggling with grief after the death of her sister, Finch is dealing with his own mental health struggles. Together, they start exploring their small Indiana town and discover little moments of beauty in places they never expected to find them. Please check the trigger warnings before reading, though, as the book deals with abuse, death, grief and suicide. I could relate to Finch quite a lot, especially when it came to the way he used humor and jokes to hide what was really going on inside his head. I thought that was portrayed quite realistically. There were also moments when I felt confused about Finch, his thoughts and how he was actually feeling, but in a way, that made sense for his character and what he was going through. ⚠️ SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠️ I also really appreciated that Violet’s love couldn’t simply “save” Finch. I dislike stories that imply someone can overcome serious mental health struggles just because they find the right person to love them. Of course, having someone by your side can help, but it isn’t a replacement for professional help, and ultimately, the person struggling also has to be willing and able to accept that help. I have to admit that I liked Finch more than Violet, although I liked her too. There was just something about Finch that immediately drew me in. Did I wish for a different ending? Absolutely. But as heartbreaking as it was, I think the ending fit the story. It doesn’t romanticize or gloss over what can happen when someone is struggling that deeply, and I think that’s an important conversation to have. Overall, this was definitely a difficult read, but also one that stayed with me. If you’re considering picking it up, please check the trigger warnings first, especially if any of these topics are difficult for you.
Rezension von Kathleen ✨Ein wunderschönes, berührendes Buch. Und das nicht nur für Young Adults.
Rezension von MagnoliaOne of my all-time favorite books, beautifully written, devastating, yet full of brightness. A true masterpiece that will live rent-free in my soul forever 🩶🖤
Rezension von TW: Trauer(Bewältigung), Tod, Suizid Ich weiß gar nicht, wie ich diese Rezension beginnen soll. Ich habe so viel (positives) über dieses Buch zusagen, aber finde nicht die Worte, um meine Empfindungen auszudrücken. Psychische Gesundheit wird ja inzwischen in sehr vielen Büchern thematisiert, aber so richtig gelingt es irgendwie oft nicht. In "All the Bright Places" ist das anders. Die Innensicht auf beide Figuren, Violet und Finch, war so berührend, so ehrlich, so echt. Ich konnte den, ganz unterschiedlichen, Schmerz und die Hoffnungslosigkeit der Figuren spüren und hätte sie am liebsten in den Arm genommen. Hinzu kommt eine schöne, wenn auch traurige Geschichte, in die der Umgang mit Tod und Suizid eingebettet wurde, ein grandioser Schreibstil und trotz der Schwere der Thematik eine Atmosphäre, in die ich doch immer wieder gerne zurückgekehrt bin. Wenn ihr "Nicht weg und nicht da" von Anne Freytag liebt (so wie ich es tue), dann werdet ihr "All the Bright Places" auch lieben. Von mir gibt es 5 Sterne! Das Englisch ist übrigens super verständlich und da ich Teile der Geschichte als Hörbuch gehört habe, kann ich euch auch das sehr empfehlen. Hörbücher auf Englisch sind ein ganz wunderbarer Weg, die Sprache noch intensiver zu lernen und ich kann es euch nur ans Herz legen!
Rezension von naps> “Which of my feelings are real? Which of the mes is me? There is only one me I’ve ever really liked, and he was good and awake as long as he could be.” > “‘I’m broken, and no one can fix it. I’ve tried. I’m still trying. I can’t love anyone because it’s not fair to anyone who loves me back.’”
