Violet Markey tinha uma vida perfeita, mas todos os seus planos deixam de fazer sentido quando ela e a irmã sofrem um acidente de carro e apenas Violet sobrevive. Sentindo-se culpada pelo que aconteceu, a garota se afasta de todos e tenta descobrir como seguir em frente. Theodore Finch é o esquisito da escola, perseguido pelos valentões e chamado de "aberração" por onde passa. Para piorar, é obrigado a lidar com longos períodos de depressão, o pai violento e a apatia do resto da família.
Enquanto Violet conta os dias para o fim das aulas, quando poderá ir embora da cidadezinha onde mora, Finch pesquisa diferentes métodos de suicídio e imagina se conseguiria levar algum deles adiante. Em uma dessas tentativas, ele vai parar no alto da torre da escola e, para sua surpresa, encontra Violet, também prestes a pular.
Um ajuda o outro a sair dali, e essa dupla improvável se une para fazer um trabalho de geografia: conhecer lugares incríveis do estado onde moram. Ao lado de Finch, Violet para de contar os dias e finalmente passa a vivê-los. O garoto, por sua vez, encontra alguém com quem pode ser ele mesmo, e torce para que consiga se manter desperto.
"Me apaixonei por Violet e Finch antes mesmo de se apaixonarem um pelo outro. A jornada deles é adorável e inteligente e corajosa. Vai partir seu coração e relembrar o que significa estar vivo." — Jennifer E. Smith, autora de A probabilidade estatística do amor à primeira vista
Jack tem prosopagnosia, uma doença que o impede de reconhecer o rosto das pessoas. Quando ele olha para alguém, vê os olhos, o nariz, a boca... mas não consegue juntar todas as peças do quebra-cabeça para gravar na memória. Então ele usa marcas identificadoras, como o cabelo, a cor da pele, o jeito de andar e de se vestir, para tentar distinguir seus amigos e familiares. Mas ninguém sabe disso – até o dia em que ele encontra Libby.
Libby é nova na escola. Ela passou os últimos anos em casa, juntando os pedaços do seu coração depois da morte de sua mãe. A garota finalmente se sente pronta para voltar à vida normal, mas logo nos primeiros dias de aula é alvo de uma brincadeira cruel por causa de seu peso e vai parar na diretoria. Junto com Jack. Aos poucos essa dupla improvável se aproxima e, juntos, eles aprendem a enxergar um ao outro como ninguém antes tinha feito.
With high school coming to an end, Claudine Henry is focused on four things: sex, starting college, becoming a famous writer, and... sex. But when her parents announce they're splitting up, her entire world begins to fall apart. The epic road trip she planned with her best friend is cancelled, and she finds herself stuck on a remote island off the coast of Georgia with her mom - an island with no WiFi, no cell service and no friends.
Until she meets the free spirited, mysterious, and beautiful Jeremiah. He infuriates and intrigues her. Their chemistry takes her by surprise, and when Claude decides he should be her first, she tells herself it's just sex. Exactly what she wanted, right? They both know that what they have can't last forever, but maybe the time they have can be enough.
From the author of the New York Times bestseller All the Bright Places comes a heart-wrenching story about what it means to see someone—and love someone—for who they truly are.
Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout, the girl once dubbed “America’s Fattest Teen.” But no one’s taken the time to look past her weight to get to know who she really is. Following her mom’s death, she’s been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken father and her own grief. Now, Libby’s ready: for high school, for new friends, for love, and for EVERY POSSIBILITY LIFE HAS TO OFFER. In that moment, I know the part I want to play here at MVB High. I want to be the girl who can do anything.
Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin, too. Yes, he’s got swagger, but he’s also mastered the impossible art of giving people what they want, of fitting in. What no one knows is that Jack has a newly acquired secret: he can’t recognize faces. Even his own brothers are strangers to him. He’s the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything in new and bad-ass ways, but he can’t understand what’s going on with the inner workings of his brain. So he tells himself to play it cool: Be charming. Be hilarious. Don’t get too close to anyone.
Until he meets Libby. When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school game—which lands them in group counseling and community service—Libby and Jack are both pissed, and then surprised. Because the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel. . . . Because sometimes when you meet someone, it changes the world, theirs and yours.
Jennifer Niven delivers another poignant, exhilarating love story about finding that person who sees you for who you are—and seeing them right back.

The New York Times bestselling love story about two teens who find each other while standing on the edge.
Theodore Finch is fascinated by death. Every day he thinks of ways he might kill himself, but every day he also searches for—and manages to find—something to keep him here, and alive, and awake.
Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her small Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death.
When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school—six stories above the ground— it’s unclear who saves whom. Soon it’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself. And it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink. . . .

In September 1921, four young men and Ada Blackjack, a diminutive 25-year-old Eskimo woman, ventured deep into the Arctic in a secret attempt to colonize desolate Wrangel Island for Great Britain. Two years later, Ada Blackjack emerged as the sole survivor of this ambitious polar expedition. This young, unskilled woman--who had headed to the Arctic in search of money and a husband--conquered the seemingly unconquerable north and survived all alone after her male companions had perished.
Following her triumphant return to civilization, the international press proclaimed her the female Robinson Crusoe. But whatever stories the press turned out came from the imaginations of reporters: Ada Blackjack refused to speak to anyone about her horrific two years in the Arctic. Only on one occasion--after charges were published falsely accusing her of causing the death of one her companions--did she speak up for herself.
Jennifer Niven has created an absorbing, compelling history of this remarkable woman, taking full advantage of the wealth of first-hand resources about Ada that exist, including her never-before-seen diaries, the unpublished diaries from other primary characters, and interviews with Ada's surviving son. Ada Blackjack is more than a rugged tale of a woman battling the elements to survive in the frozen north--it is the story of a hero.
Drawing on the diaries of those who were rescued and those who perished, Jennifer Niven re-creates with astonishing accuracy the ill-fated journey and the crews desperate attempts to find a way home.
Eine Woche vor dem Abi zerbricht Claudes Welt in tausend Scherben, als sie erfährt, dass ihre Eltern sich scheiden lassen. Statt in den Ferien mit ihrer besten Freundin auf den Road Trip ihres Lebens zu gehen, zieht Claude nun mit ihrer Mutter auf eine abgelegene Insel vor der Küste Georgias. Die Wut ist ihr Schutzschild gegen jeden, der ihr zu nahekommt. Denn wozu jemandem trauen, wenn er einen irgendwann im Stich lässt? Doch dann begegnet Claude Jeremiah Crew, der sie mitnimmt auf ein großes Abenteuer. Und gemeinsam beweisen sie, dass das Ende einer Geschichte keine Rolle spielt, wenn das Dazwischen so unerträglich schön ist.
Das kann nur Jennifer Niven so genial schreiben: Die Geschichte zweier zutiefst verletzter junger Menschen, die einander retten und dabei sich selbst finden
Der Zauber der ersten wahren Liebe - ein Buch, in dem man leben möchte
"Du warst der Erste. Nicht bloß beim Sex, auch wenn das ein Teil davon war. Sondern der Erste, der hinter alle Fassaden geschaut und mich wirklich gesehen hat. Einige der Namen und Orte wurden geändert, aber die Geschichte ist wahr. Es steht alles hier drin, denn eines Tages wird dies die Vergangenheit sein. Und ich will nicht vergessen, was ich erlebt habe, was ich dachte, was ich fühlte, wer ich war. Ich will dich nicht vergessen. Aber vor allen Dingen will ich mich nicht vergessen." - Jennifer Niven
Ist heute ein guter Tag zum Sterben?, fragt sich Finch, sechs Stockwerke über dem Abgrund auf einem Glockenturm, als er plötzlich bemerkt, dass er nicht allein ist. Neben ihm steht Violet, die offenbar über dasselbe nachdenkt wie er. Von da an beginnt für die beiden eine Reise, auf der sie wunderschöne wie traurige Dinge erleben und großartige sowie kleine Augenblicke – das Leben eben. So passiert es auch, dass Finch bei Violet er selbst sein kann – ein verwegener, witziger und lebenslustiger Typ, nicht der Freak, für den alle ihn halten. Und es ist Finch, der Violet dazu bringt, jeden einzelnen Moment zu genießen. Aber während Violet anfängt, das Leben wieder für sich zu entdecken, beginnt Finchs Welt allmählich zu schwinden…
