All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
Two high school students—a girl paralyzed by grief and survivor’s guilt after a family tragedy and a charismatic, deeply troubled boy who battles intense mood swings and suicidal thoughts—meet on the edge of a school bell tower and pair up for a class project to visit notable places across their state. Their growing bond becomes a lifeline that helps each confront painful truths, challenge fears, and briefly imagine a future together, even as his unpredictable darkness and persistent despair complicate everything. The relationship ultimately forces both to face harsh realities: she must learn to grieve and reclaim joy, and he struggles with an illness that leads to a devastating outcome that reshapes her understanding of love and loss. In the aftermath she seeks ways to honor him and find a path toward healing, showing how fragile connections can also foster resilience.
