I feel like the flashbacks were repetitive & could’ve been done in a different way. I also wasn’t completely blown away by the twist at the end :/ I think my favorite part about this book would definitely have to be the Quinn family dynamic & Rusty! also Ben was such a great character & all I could think was he deserved better lol. i also really enjoyed Sam as a character & appreciated the representation of someone who has disabilities.also, make sure to read your trigger warnings… I went in blind & didn’t realize some of the story revolves around a school shooting & that is always very hard & triggering for me to read.
on to the next one!</spoilers>

Such as choosing not to bring Rusty into the story until much later because he was often described as an absent father who put work first, and in that way he was even absent to the reader for quite awhile. Or that Sam was treated as if she was dead up until her intro to the story a few chapters in, because to Charlie she might as well have been dead.Spoiler
Like Rusty asking Charlie to lie about being assaulted or how Sam told Charlie she was able to see when she couldn’t to comfort Charlie.Graphic: Death, Gore, Mass/school shootings, Murder, Child death, Sexual harassment, Sexual violence, Blood, Death of parent, Medical trauma, Miscarriage, Physical abuse, Police brutality, Rape, Pedophilia, and Sexual assault
