All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
Finch and Violet-was there ever a more unlikely pair? Finch is fascinated by suicide and, at the beginning of the book, is standing at the top of the bell tower at school, contemplating the jump. Violet, haunted by the death of her older sister. They meet at the top of that tower, and each credits the other for saving them. This, along with an assignment for US geography, leads to an unlikely friendship.
Over the course of their wanderings, Finch causes Violet to see that just because her sister is gone, it doesn't mean that she shouldn't be able to live. They fall in love, and you think this will save them both, but does it?
What I loved about this was that there were two broken people who found each other, and found that life could be bearable again, for a while anyway.
