dark hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

3.5

I knew the premise, so I should have known, but this was much more disturbing than I anticipated. 
Very dark, but by the end, Lucas won me over. Quirky narrator and lots of trigger warnings.

Written entirely in letter format. A sweet, sentimental story about a mass shooting, the victims' recoveries, mental health, and healing. I was rooting for the main character the whole time and was very endeared to him. The ending was touching.

The audio narration was excellent.

Overall, this was an enjoyable book but not one that is going to stick with me long term.
