We're counting down the days until its release.

This book had us in tears. TEARS. So we're only assuming that the movie, starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith, will be doing the same. The movie has been adapted from the best-selling book by the same name and author Jennifer Niven has also been involved in writing the screenplay for the Netflix adaptation (so you know it's going to be good). The story follows Finch and Violet who meet on the ledge of a building during what could have been each of their last moments. Violet is still reeling from the death of her sister and is counting down the days until graduation, when can finally escape her Indiana town. Finch is fascinated by death and always thinking about ways that he could kill himself. When the two meet, they form an important bond and decide to discover the "natural wonders" of the state of Indiana. Finch helps Violet deal with her grief and live with her loss and Violet gives Finch a reason to stay positive. But will that be enough in the end? This book was a beautiful journey that took us through ups and downs, was both funny and heartbreaking, and had characters that we'll never forget. So it's safe to say that we're extremely excited to see it come to life on screen this February 28. That's a whole two weeks away though so, in the meantime, we picked out some books to keep us going until then.

1. The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson

Adrift after her sister Bailey's sudden death, Lennie finds herself torn between quiet, seductive Toby - Bailey's boyfriend who shares her grief - and Joe, the new boy in town who bursts with life and musical genius. Each offers Lennie something she desperately needs, though she knows if the two of them collide her whole world will explode. Join Lennie on a journey of profound sorrow and mad love, as she makes colossal mistakes and colossal discoveries, as she traipses through band rooms and forest bedrooms and ultimately right into your heart. As much a celebration of love as a poignant portrait of loss, Lennie's struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her is always honest, often uproarious, and absolutely unforgettable.

2. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular.

Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixtapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But he can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor.

Now, Libby’s ready: for high school, for new friends, for love, and for every possibility life has to offer.  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, 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. Then he meets Libby. When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school game which lands them in group counselling and community service, Libby and Jack are both pissed, and then surprised. Because the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel.

6. Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira

It begins as an assignment for English class: write a letter to a dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain because her sister, May, loved him. And he died young, just like May did. Soon, Laurel has a notebook full of letters to people like Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Amelia Earhart, Heath Ledger, and more - though she never gives a single one of them to her teacher. She writes about starting high school, navigating new friendships, falling in love for the first time, learning to live with her splintering family. And, finally, about the abuse she suffered while May was supposed to be looking out for her. Only then, once Laurel has written down the truth about what happened to herself, can she truly begin to accept what happened to May. And only when Laurel has begun to see her sister as the person she was - lovely and amazing and deeply flawed - can she begin to discover her own path.
