All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
4.0

Oh man. This is a book that Joey would put in the freezer, like he did with Little Women. It's damn near a carbon copy of The Fault in Our Stars, but with teens dealing with depression and mental illness, rather than cancer. Fun, right?? Ah, but it suuuuucked me in, just as TFIOS did with beautiful passages, witty and empathetic characters, and a frenetic 'MUST FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS NOW' race to the end of the book. It's horrible, and ultimately lovely.
