The popular New York Times bestseller, described as "sparkling" by Entertainment Weekly, and said to "get under your skin." This heart-wrenching, unflinching story of shared love, lived life, and two teenagers finding each other on the edge will stay with you long after you turn the last page. Theodore Finch is fascinated by death. Every day he thinks about how he could end his life, but every day he also searches for something that keeps him here, alive and awake. Violet Markey lives for the future and counts the days until graduation when she can escape her small town in Indiana and the painful grief of her sister's recent death. When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the school bell tower—six stories above the ground—it’s unclear who is saving whom. Soon, Finch can only be himself with Violet. And only with Finch can Violet forget to count the days.
