fine for highschoolers maybe...

This book is written in a rather juvenile way and is probably fine for people in high school or middle school. Even for people in that age group though it's sort of disconnected because the author has clearly not been in a high school in decades.

Heavy but amazing

The topic obviously is hard to listen to but sadly a part of our regular life.

The way the author tells the story is amazing and heartbreaking. I highly recommend it.

The plot twist in this book has me on the edge of the seat LITERALLY

From beginning to end I was intrigued with this book. I wanted to know what drew me into it when I first bought it from target. Something spoke to me. Now I usually hunt for the casual romance novel but this book spoke volumes I couldn’t put my finger on. I will say I enjoyed this book this felt more of a movie than a book. I can still picture the ending of this book this is one little captivating book.

Unforgettable!

This story about a school shooting is told from several different viewpoints, none of which is the shooter. You come to know these people on a personal level. It's a sad and moving story about normal high school students and the secrets they keep. It's about their love and their pain.

I highly recommend this story. I also highly recommend not starting this story at night if you plan on getting any sleep. It grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let go until the very end.

I didn't want to like this book ...

I didn't want to like this book ... it sucked me in. I am repelled by the subject matter and compelled to contemplate it often.

Gripping

This was hard to listen to due to the subject matter but I found I couldn't stop either. The performance is very good.
