All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

• Violet Markey and Theodore Finch meet on the ledge of their school's bell tower where they are both thinking about committing suicide.
• Although Finch helps Violet down, he lets the school think she's the one who saved him -- it's the more believable story since Finch is goofy, unpredictable, and occasionally violent while Violet,  until recently, was a popular cheerleader.
• Finch and Violet partner up for a "Wander the State" school project, and as they travel around, not only do they discover the hidden corners of Indiana, but they also uncover the demons and memories that haunt each of them (and they try to help each other move past them).
  

Violet and Finch are characters who will stay with you long after you finish the book.  If you like realistic stories that don't shy away from the dark and hard parts of life (such as Eleanor & Park or The Fault in Our Stars), then you should check this one out.
