Instead of "You gave me a forever within the numbered days.", try "You are all the colours at once, at full brightness." There is some beautiful imagery and a number of amazing quotes that could rival those from The Fault in our Stars which are currently taking over the internet. The characters are shown in so much detail, through straight forward description as well as how they speak and act. The writing style of All the Bright Places is fantastic. Through their visits to these strange places, the pair bond and eventually become romantically involved. Without spoiling too much, I can tell you that our star-crossed lovers visit a ball of paint, a back-yard roller-coaster and a tiny mountain. Yet it still has a basis in real life, with more than one tear-jerker moment and a heart breaking (but slightly bitter-sweet) ending. This is a story full of unique quirks and endearing, detailed characters. The story is told through Finch and Violet's alternating perspectives, which brings the touching tale to life beautifully.
