This is Where it Ends by Marieke Nijkamp is about a school shooting and it told from the four points of view of people who all have a reason to fear the shooter.
This book can be a very hard book to read but I also feel like it is a very important one to read, I would highly recommend reading it if you're in right mental space for it.
I read this book in one day. It's a hard story and can be hard to read for some but it's also very faced paced. The story is always moving forward and it never really slows down which makes it a pretty fast read. Ive been in the biggest reading slump since HOSAB and this book was just the trick to get me out of it.
I really enjoyed the writing style in this book. It really impressive that the author fit so much in such a short amount of time, this whole book takes place in a hour and it's insane how much she did with such a short amount of time.
I would also not recommend reading this book while out in public because I made the bad decision to start this book while at work and then I became addicted to it and couldn't stop reading it which problem I was crying on and off throughout the entire (especially the end, I was bawling at the end of this book)
I’ve heard about this book for years but no one ever talks about how much diversity this book has in it. I was completely shocked when I found out that there was a sapphic main couple in this novel which happens to be one of my favorite aspects of this book.
This book made me think about things that I have never thought about before such as siblings of school shooters. I guess I always assumed that school shooters where only children but obviously that most like not true and so it was interesting to read a book that explored this possiblity (it's also completely broke my heart to read about).
I do wish we got a little bit more of an explanation on why he did it because his ex girlfriend was saying that she never thought he would be the person to do something like this and that he was a very sweet and caring person. I just wish what made him change so much outside of his mom's death was a explained a little more.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I have already bought another book by this author and will be starting that one soon.
