Even though, in the book, Violet
is portrayed as perfect and gorgeous, the
author doesn’t shy away from the dark side
of the it-girl. Due to her sister’s passing, Violet
is so upset that she’s slipped into a depression
that has put its claws in her. She’s gotten quiet,
upset and is balancing on the edge of suicidal -
which is why she was on the bell tower at the
start of the book, not to end her life, but to
envision it happening somehow, anyway.
