Big Books of 2026
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? :)
Jamie I honestly don't think its a good comparison.

I questioned whether to buy it or not as well when I heard that it was "similar" to TFIOS and Eleanor & Park (which are two of my very favourite books). But I'm glad that I didn't and I read a library copy first. Which I would advise if you're still unsure. If you end of loving it you can buy it later but if you don't you saved yourself a couple bucks and some space on your bookshelf.
I definitely think its worth reading, but to answer your question. Overrated? A bit.
