The two main protagonists come from different worlds wherein one is more privileged than the other. For anyone else who has read both books, that’s probably surprising, because it seems like a modern day teenage love story is about the furthest thing from Jane Eyre, but hear me out. In some ways, this book is similar to Jane Eyre. So if you haven’t read that one yet, run away and only come back when you’ve read it. This review does NOT contain spoilers about All the Bright Places, but it does contain spoilers about Jane Eyre. It’s my experience that people are a lot more sympathetic if they can see you hurting, and for the millionth time in my life I wish for measles or smallpox or some other recognizable disease just to make it simple for me and also for them. The fact is, I was sick, but not in an easily explained flu kind of way.
