The concept of this book is interesting, the execution however...
I did not connect with any of the character. For as much information and backstory that they have, they all pretty much fell flat and did not feel like they could be real people. I did not connect with it care for any of the characters. There were some really awkward and contextually inappropriate scenes. Maybe this book just wasn't for me, but definitely one of the worst I've read in a while.
Could not put this book down. Marieke is an amazing story teller, and she tore my heart out in million pieces with this story! Tackling an important issue today, gun violence, Marieke tells the story of the students at Opportunity High, who are going through one of the most tragic things that could happen to someone - a school shooting. This story keeps you on the edge of your feet, and breaks your heart in half. A must read!
I finished this at 11:59 and I'm excited because it will say I read this in one day and I like that... Anyways I am an emotional mess and I have a lot to say, so I will probably get a review up tomorrow
