I don't like telling spoilers in reviews but I feel like I need to provide examples of scenes to express how unrealistic it was written....
(SPOILERS) The shooter comes in and an auditorium of a hundred students just goes completely silent. When the doors open, not a single person panics or makes a run for it. Everything is controlled and there is little chaos. Police officers find students a couple blocks from the school and BRING THEM BACK. Like what?! (SPOILERS)
Reading the author's note, they state they grew up in a different country and we're unfamiliar with school shootings. They wrote the book in order to "learn about it". Clearly they should've done more research. Insulting to anyone that's been in proximity to violence like this and does not provide a realistic or fair view of school shootings at all.

Anyway, I loved Tomas and Matt; they were my favorite characters, but of course, all good characters must die. ALSO, as a dancer, I hated autumn, more so her writing. I just hated the representation for the dancers okay? Like, no, if I got shot in the knee I wouldn't feel like 'i'm trapped in a pirouette (spin/turn)'. SO YEAH DONT READ THIS BOOK IF 1 YOU GET ATTACHED TO CHARACTERS 2 YOU ARE A DANCER.
But seriously don't joke about school shootings. thank youuuuuuu
