I personally found it a little confusing at first with the different POV's. However, once I got into it, I found it very interesting and crazy emotional.

Absolutely heartbreaking. Nearly had me crying on the bus. Beautifully written. The author wasn't lying in a quote that said, "My books will make you cry."

This was a book topic I was really interested. I had read some reviews that said mixed things about this novel, so I decided to give it a try. This is surely not my favorite book. The characters are hard to connect with and I find myself not caring about them much. Overall, I liked bits and pieces and enjoyed some scenes more than others. I think one thing that I would’ve loved was real human emotions in the characters. Some characters had unrealistic emotions to a school shooting and death, if not all of the characters. I liked reading this but I would only recommend if this genre and storyline sounds interesting to learn about.
