A Goodreads user asked this question about All the Bright Places:
Is this an overrated book (since it has been compared to Eleanor & Park and The Fault In Our Stars) or is it worth buying? Opinions, anyone? :)

In many superficial ways (two quirky teens, a romance, battling through difficulty), maybe it is similar, but then the same could be said for almost every teen novel out there. This was not anything close to overrated, and even though it'll break your heart, you'll need to read it to fully comprehend the amazingness of this novel. While others are certainly entitled to their opinion, the honesty with which Finch's depression is portrayed and the reality of the issues that are a real part of our society makes this one a winner for me. And nothing like The Fault in Our Stars. (less)
