What Is All the Bright Places About?
Jennifer Niven's debut YA novel got a film option in 2014, before the novel was even released in early 2015. It tells the story of two small-town teenagers, both struggling with past traumas and current mental illness, who meet one day and end up making a pact to start finding "all the bright places" — that is, the wonderful and exciting things in the world and within themselves. It's a heartwarming and heartbreaking teen drama in the mold of The Fault in Our Stars.
