  • You'd think the title is weird and doesn't make sense, but after you read the book, it ALL makes sense

    Amber G. - 3 years 7 months ago

    Absolutely amazing book! Such a twist ending and a whole bunch of twists and turns, you never know what's coming! Highly recommend

  • GREAT BOOK!!

    Marquisa G. - 5 years 2 months ago

    great book! i loved reading the point of view from different characters! i recommend this if you are having 2nd thoughts, read it! the ending was kinda upsetting (and you'll know why ;) if you read it), but i love it as a whole.

  • Love This Book!!

    Mehwish N. - 5 years 9 months ago

    This book was so good! I read it in 2 hours because I was so captivated by the story. I felt like I was in the moment with the characters, crying with them and sharing their pain. This is my new favorite book and I will definitely reread it! #SummerReading

  • YA School Shooting- Romance focused

    Tami N. - 5 years 9 months ago

    A crazy and intense story about a school shooting.  It's written in a moment by moment story.  There is a big focus on the relationships, but what book isn't.  I enjoyed it and my middle school students did too.  It's not too graphic or difficult to get through.  One to add to your #SummerReading list.

  • Tw, not suitable if you are triggered easily by violence or school shootings

    Destinee F. - 5 years 10 months ago

    This is such an emotional book and gives insight into something that happens everyday in American society. Definitely a new favorite #SummerReading
