A. Summary
Theodore Finch and Violet Markey are two teenagers who badly want to
escape from their small Indiana town. Violet is a popular girl who is
secretly dealing with survivor's remorse, and Finch is a boy obsessed with
death, labelled a freak by other students. Fate brought the two together
when both climbed the bell tower at school at the same time, planning to
jump off the ledge. Violet has been dealing with the death of her sister,
Eleanor, who died 9 months ago in a car accident after Violet suggested
the route home. Violet feels responsible and has not been in a car since,
and thinks she should have died instead of Eleanor. On the ledge, Finch
talks Violet down, and Violet returns the favour, but everyone assumes it's
Violet who saved Finch. As for Finch, he suffers from depression and
experiences near-constant thoughts of suicide during his so-called
"Awake" periods. Finch's family does not understand his depression,
making him feel isolated. He initiates a partnership between himself and
Violet for a school project in which they will explore their home state of
Indiana together. The two begin a romantic relationship and fall in love.
Eventually, Finch pushes Violet to get in the car and begin writing again,
for the first time after her sister's accident nine months prior. He helps her
begin to talk about her sister's death, which her parents have not
managed to do. As a result, Violet begins to heal. Finch, however, is
getting worse. He suffers from an undiagnosed bipolar disorder and
therefore, deals with very high highs and very low lows. He is also beaten
by his father and bullied at school. Later in the story Finch runs away from
home, and Violet seems to be the only one looking for him. He sends her
mysterious texts while he visits the remaining locations for their
unfinished project, although Violet doesn't understand them until much
later. A month after he has disappeared, Finch sends an email to every
single person he knows, saying goodbye. Violet, in a panic, figures out that
he has drowned himself at the Blue Hole, one of their wandering sites. She
goes there and discovers she is right, and she becomes distraught. Later,
she manages to decode the texts Finch had sent her, and at the last
location they were supposed to visit together, Finch wrote a song for her.
This helps the healing process and convinces Violet that Finch's suicide
was not her fault. The book closes with Violet going swimming by herself
in the Blue Hole, where she went swimming with Finch, bringing her a
sense of peace.
