"Take out the bad parts and mean words"

I am officially in love with Finch's personality, or all of his personalities in that case. He is funny and seems to bring live to everybody and everything around him, even though he feels kind of dead himself.

As we all suspected, Violent and Finch become a couple and start a romantic relationship.

They don't care about what other may or may not say at their backs or directly in front of them. Finch seem to be happy, truly and completely happy; and completely in love with Violet "You are all the colors in one, at full brightness." Their wonderings are now for the pure pleasure of being together and making and making small places become important and great in their memories and own ways, He meets Violet's parents and tries to be the best of himself during the process, putting a blanket on top of the "real" Finch, the one that's made of thousands of other Theo's.

Violet complains about that, about Finch "acting" and "lying" to her parents but then he says this: "Sometimes, Ultraviolet, things feel true to us even if they're not." and that makes her go silent. I liked this quote a lot because there's truth in it. Some people have that one part of themselves that they would like it to be true. For Finch is that he could be the perfect boy for what he considered the perfect parents of the perfect girl. He really did. A lot of times I have found myself in this kind of situations, wishing I was something else or that I was something more, or better than I actually am. I liked this quote because of that. It reminded me of all of those times that I felt like Finch and that maybe a lied because I really wished that that lie could be true.

I think this part of the book was a nice break for the readers and the characters from the dark mood there was on the book before. We can see that they are growing and overcoming some of their obstacles, even Violet's mother can see that.  "Growth itself contains the germ of happiness." Because of the moment I am -we all are - living, I find this quote quite comforting. Growing up at first seems like this great moment we are all waiting for as kids, but now that we are finally here and our future is now behind us but at the same time so far away; it's time for us to be adults, it's quite scary...more than scary is terrifying and intimidating at its very best. So when I read this quote I felt more at peace with all of it, since it's true. Growing up is scary but it's also what brings us happiness.

As for Violet, well she feels more alive, more "in her skin" now that she's with Finch nd that she's falling in love with him. On the other hand Finch personal demons give him a break and he can deal with the real ones, such as his dad, much better. More balanced.
