“I walk through the black Indiana night, under a ceiling of stars, and think about the phrase “elegance and euphoria,” and how it describes exactly what I feel with Violet. For once, I don’t want to be anyone but Theodore Finch, the boy she sees. He understands what it is to be elegant and euphoric and a hundred different people most of them flawed and stupid, part asshole, part screw up, part freak, a boy who wants to be easy for the folks around him so that he doesn’t worry them and, most of all, easy for himself. A boy who belongs – here in the world, here in his own skin. He is exactly who I want to be and what I want my epitaph to say: The Boy Violet Markey Loves.” 

― Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places

I consider the book All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven one of the best teen fiction. I was inspired how the story flows. Everyone can reflect and it was nice roller coaster ride how all the characters give life lessons and experiences. The fact that it is based from the true story. Jennifer Niven was a great influencer, as she had raise awareness to every young teen how to deal with life. Through this book the youth is reminded despite all the problems and challenges we face no matter what, we have friends and family to help us and the most important is ourselves to overcome everything. With our God’s wisdom we are guided.
