When Finch and Violet meet on the school's bell tower, they're both considering ending it all. But they make an unexpected connection, and as they explore the natural wonders of their state together, they discover more about each other and themselves. Finch's quirky, live-out-loud personality draws Violet out of her grief, while Violet's steadiness anchors Finch. Yet as Violet's world expands, Finch's begins to shrink. This tender, authentic portrait of young love and mental health explores the power of human connection to heal even the deepest wounds.
