So this happens to be another one of those "real", hit-you-in-the-face books. This book also happens to be a massive inspiration behind a book I'm currently writing on Wattpad.
I first heard about this book from a Favourites video by Zoella.
So this book follows the stories of a girl named Violet Markey and a guy named Theodore Finch. Each chapter in the book is from the point of view of either Finch or Violet. The two meet just as Violet is just about to jump off a building in order to end her life but somehow Finch manages to convince her otherwise. Each chapter starts off with a count. In the case of Violet's chapters, the count is a count of the numbers of days since she tried to kill herself and in the case of Finch, it's a countdown to the number of days till a significant event. If I tell you what it is, I'd be giving away a lot and spoiling it :P
Just trust me when I say that the "significant event" really hits you. This book is so so beautiful. It doesn't tell a love story the traditional way and you find yourself yelling at the book for things to happen and not happen.
Everybody I've kind of forced to read this book has fallen in love with it as well :P Even if you aren't a fan of the genre, this is definitely a must read!
