All the Bright Places question

Not to sound cynical or anything, but I don't think so.
I always felt like their relationship was more about the 'now' rather than the future. I mean spontaneity was a major part of what made them so beautiful and charming. Also, I feel the way their relationship was built made it inavoidably ephemeral.

I think if Finch was saved that they would have had a future. You could feel how much they loved and other and I feel that they both would have been able to commit to a long relationship.

Violet would've gone to college, and maybe try to become an author while Finch probably wouldn't know what to do with his life. Though I feel terrible saying this, in the long run, Finch had to die. He would've been unhappy with his life, causing him and Violet to not last very much longer. Finch reached his "built-in ending", even if that was by him committing suicide

Definitely yes

I think that they're relationship was shaky, but yeah, I think Violet really liked him, and so did he.

I have just finished the book and I loved Finch's and Violet's relationship. You fell in love with them as they fell in love with each other. But even if Finch hadn't died, there was no way the relationship was going to last. Their love was all about being in the moment and doing things for the here and now. I believe that Finch would have done anything for Violet, or would have tried to, but in the end, he was too far gone to be saved. No matter what Violet did to try to save him. Although it was heart breaking and many tears were shed, the story would never been as good had it ended differently.

I have no idea, to be honest. Finch's character constantly changes and I feel like he may not have even loved her in the first place. It's kind of the same scenario as me before you. Even though Finch had Violet he still killed himself, which is the same scenario as me before you. Finch, I feel like wouldn't have been able to keep a stable relationship with Violet.
However I do love the book, but I feel like mental health could have been portrayed differently.

Even though Violet would be going away there is always things they could have done to keep in touch. Snail mail, social media, etc. Then again, Violet didn't even really care as much as Finch did about their relationship. So, if they did try it would have gone down hill very quickly.

Yes, because I think their relationship would of worked. You can tell how much they loved and cared about each other. If Finch really tried to get help, It would of worked. :)

I really think that Finch would've done all that he could to change himself for Violet. But, in the end he would never let himself get real mental health. The support group is the most he did and even there he didn't really listen. So, I think he'd try but it wouldn't be enough to have a stable future with her.

A part of me believes in him. The possibility of recovery while bleak, is not obsolete. Yet, Finch is the sort to burn brilliantly bright but only momentarily. So perhaps, his death was to represent that. And even if he were to be saved, he wouldn't have lived.

I feel as if Finch would need to learn how to love himself before loving another person. Personally, I don't think they would've had a future. You can definitely see and feel how much these two individuals love one another but it would be too complicated for them to be in a relationship with one another. However, if these two were to bump into each other in the near future after years of not seeing each other, I think that they would both be mature enough and ready to start their relationship over again which would be a beautiful thing to see.

As much as I would love to believe that they grew old together and had a happy life - it's just not realistic. Finch was self-destructive. Even if he was able to battle through his depression and get the help he needed, it wouldn't last. I think Violet would have tried to keep it going but Finch would just push her away.

I think that if Finch got serious help they might have lasted, and if they could work over a long distance because Violet was going away.

As much as it kills me, I will say one thing. They surely would not have lasted. Theodore Finch is a self-destructive ticking time bomb and Violet doesn't need that. *sniffle*

I don't think so. The sense of this book is that: Finch should die. Jennifer Niven wanted to show how people aren't interested in each others (egoists etc.) But if Finch hadn't killed himself, they wouldn't be together. Finch is lie "badboy". He don't care about what will hapennd. Violet is smart, soft girl with big heart. I know that opositts atrracked. Maybe I am without feelings, but I don't see tchem together.

(sorry for my terrible English, I am from Poland :))

I think that Violet and Finch would have tried but ultimately they wouldn't have lasted. Violet seems to be the kind of person who would've tried to keep their relationship going even if she knew it was falling apart. and Finch would have probably not do much with his life. Violet and Finch are just to different. But don't get me wrong I love the relationship that they had and the book, but it probably wouldn't have worked.

I honestly am conflicted with this suggestion. Though both characters had felt this love for one another, it is still possible that they might not have lasted. Finch was the kind of guy that was most likely say, "I'm not relationship material." Violet had her issues too. She was going to a university in New York (I think) and I feel like the distance would've been too much for the both of them. They both had looked to be healing together, but obviously Finch wasn't as much as Violet.

I don't think so, i think finch isn't the kind of person that can commit to a serious relationship. And they both needed help and instead the keep on feeding off each other's negativity.

I think they would've lasted. When they were together, they seemed to be healing, and it was important for Violet to meet someone who also understood some of what she was going through. I don't think it would have been easy for them to be together, and there would be some self-destructive patterns, but ultimately I think Violet made Finch too happy and Finch made Violet feel so understood that they would've kept finding their way back to each other until Violet healed and Finch held on to the will to live.

I don't think they would have lasted. To me their relationship was built on a poor foundation on feeding off each other's negativity. The relationship seemed toxic and it can be assumed that Finch would not have gotten help. This would have caused for Violent to become exasperated and a cycle of unhappiness would have been made. Yes, this book is a work of fiction, but Niven wrote this book to convey a realistic story. Romanticizing mental illness is not ok and a lot of the other elements of the story regarding mental illness were incorrect.

Monica wrote: "Even if Finch had been saved in time and gotten help, I don't think him and Violet would have worked out in the long run. I think that Finch would be the kind of person who wouldn't be able to help..."
I think there is a chance they would have gone out another year or so, but otherwise I think that at a certain point in time they'd both have realized that whether as she would have been (mostly) mentally healed though still bearing the scars of her past and he would have always been a lost, damaged soul.
But then again there are some YA couples that you don't think will make it that do and some that don't. Your words about Violet and Finch's relationship ring true not only for them, but for a lot of couples in novels like All the Bright Places and Me Before You.

Couldn't agree more with what you said. It's so heart-wrenching to know that Finch has to end his life and that maybe it's his "built-in ending" that even some people knew it coming. I think that is the "good bad" of the book--that it portrays how a person can be damaged beyond repair and, just like how Finch was on the ledge, is just a little push away from falling.

It's really understandable how many people here with low reviews hate the book because it "romanticizes" mental illness. I think they're just missing the point--the book is fiction and it's meant to be unrealistic. However, it can also reflect some reality (like how it could be that Finch's parents are oblivious of his problem and were unable to help, because they themselves have something wrong with them), but it's how the readers would take it.

Finch eğer hayatta kalsaydı birlikte olabileceklerini düşünüyorum çünkü Finch ne kadar sıkıntılar yaşıyorsa Violet de sıkıntılar ve sorunları olan biriydi .İkisi beraber olunca yaralarını sarıyorlardı.Fakat Finch ölsede Violet'in hayatından silinemez.
