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? :)

He wants to be happy he sees the world in such a way that it's beautiful and not the sad places it can be. Yes there are funny parts but I think that makes it all the better because a book that can make you laugh when it shows such clarity into the mind of someone depressed is amazing, he'll it shows that your not always sad when you have depression it shows that you have days when your on top of the world but also how hard it is when that depression hits again.(less)
