*spoilers ahead*

I have heard a lot of good things about this book. And I was so excited to read it. What I didn't know was that after I read it, I'd be left with so much melancholy.
It's a good book, yes. But it's also frustrating, and heart-breaking. It's frustrating because I feel like Finch's mental illness was not acknowledged enough (his family didn't even want to accept that his death was suicide). And I guess, that itself shows the flaw in our real lives, in our society. It's supposed to be frustrating to emphasize the point of the book, to emphasize that we have to change how we view and approach mental illnesses.
It's heart breaking, it really was. Finch's depression/disorder and the lack of acknowledgment from his family/peers, Violet not being able to help him, Finch's family, Violet having lost two of her loved ones in a year...
I wanted a point of view from Finch's family though. How did they cope? How did his father take it? How did Kate take it? How did little Decca felt about his brother being gone? I wanted to know what they felt, I wanted to know their perspective about the situation. But I guess that will remain a mystery.

So. If you're planning to read this, be prepared for all the unwanted emotions that will surely overwhelm you.
