First of all, besides the fact that I did not like it as much as I thought, this book needs to be read. This subject is so important and it happens more every day. It will not help you to survive on if you ever find yourself in a situation like this, but it might help you a bit. I live in the Netherlands, and for, as far as I know, it never happened here. That did not stop my parents from telling me to lie under a dead person and cover myself with their blood to look death. It sounds terrifying and you don't want to go through something, but it does happen.
I did not like the book. I don't like multiple P.O.Vs and I did not like the flashbacks. I just wanted to read about a school shooting (okay this sounds bad) and the things the people went through (it keeps sounding worse and worse). I personally thought the whole ‘oh we went through this with that and that person' wasn't necessarily. The reason that I wanted to read this book was to read about a school shooting and, if I ever found myself in one, keep this book in mind to have a bit of help. The rest of the book was pretty good. The storyline was well written and I liked mostly all of the characters. You could tell that Marieke did some research because it all felt like there was done some research.
I do think you should read the book, besides all my complaining. The subject matters and this book is just well written!
