#aprilbookchallenge2015 #springbookchallenge15 Sad Book. #BurialRites by #HannahKent. #AlltheBrightPlaces by the lovely @jenniferniven this book was one of the hardest and most rewarding books to read. It still haunts me. As someone who was petrified as a teen,that I could have an undiagnosed mental illness. As someone who has tried and contemplated suicide(I am good now). As someone who has lost friends in all sorts of ways. This book means the world to me.

Thank you for reading, and for writing these lovely words. ❤️️

I NEED TO READ ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES IN DECCA’S PERSPECTIVE PLEASE jenniferniven PLEASE PLEASE

I need to know how Decca copes/lives/reacts with her parent’s divorce.

I need to know what she does/feels when she is at home and Embryo calls in and she hears about her brother who is in trouble and probably deletes the messages on the phone before Kate or Finch hears them (cos yknow, since ‘take out the bad words and keep the good ones; the bad ones like to trick you’)

I need to know how she feels about Josh Raymond.

I need to know how she felt when she sees her mother helpless and sucking at being a mother. (Which is why she swears sometimes to coax some motherly reactions from her mom)

I need to know what happens to her in the aftermath of Finch’s death, especially at the funeral, what she thought when the people cried unreal tears for her brother)

And one thing I want to know about the Finch family;
They have this thing about chins…
Finch’s dad gave his mother a busted chin and a year later, to him. Decca then has an accident, involving, yes, her chin and then she proceeds to give all her dolls stitches on, yes, their chins.

jenniferniven please answer!!! :))))

I’m so happy to hear you say this because I’ve thought about writing a story from Decca’s POV. I’m glad to know you’d be interested! ❤️️
