Urgh, writer's envy is a terrible thing. And I felt it on basically every other page, if not more, of this amazing, amazing book. There's just so much I love about the surprising and original writing. And the characters are just so vividly drawn, not just Violet and the amazing Finch, but so so many others as well - their families, their school friends, even the bit parts are so solidly depicted. The love story is so well paced as well, so compelling. Literally could NOT put it down. I think this is one of the better, more truthful and sensitive depictions of mental health issues I've seen, as well as giving a fresh, original and realistic take on it. Totally jealous, and can't wait for the movie.
