Not going to lie here, this book was just okay. I liked the characters and the representation of the plus sized community, not to mention mental health, but the over all plot in general was plain. I feel like the author reused a lot of the plot and most of it was random/fillers. I also (Spoiler ish) didn't like the whole "love kills illness" thing. (This definitely is a Spoiler) The fact that I feel like the only reason Jack fell for Libby is because he could recognize her, got under my skin for some reason. I liked the pacing of this book and some of the fun moments they shared together. I also liked the message behind it. You are wanted and seen, you should feel good about who you are, youre not alone. So, if you're into the type of stuff to make you feel better about life in general, this is a good read, but if you're looking for something with plot, I wouldn't recommend. I feel like I'm the only one who didn't like this book 😭.

This book altered the way my brain is wired. It was so well written. It was really fast paced and it's one of those books where you're just like, "Man, I can't wait to go home and read." That doesn't happen often. I'm not an expert, but this has an amazing representative of mental health. It was also really sad. Like, I cried. So much. The movie is pretty good too. (Obviously not gonna talk about the movie because this is a book review but you get it). Not as good as the book, but pretty good. All the Bright Places is the kind of book that makes you sit down, stare at a wall for four hours straight and just evaluate your entire life while listening to Lana Del Ray. So yes. This book is definitely worth it.
