It was very close to being a 3 star. It wasn’t bad. Some things felt a little corny. It does show that it was written by someone who doesn’t have to experience this first hand but I appreciate the effort. Storyline did keep me wanting to read it.

3.0

This book revolves around the POV of 4 main characters experiencing a school shooting. Obviously a difficult subject to write on and one that’s going to upset people one way or the other. I’m left feeling bummed out, but in a satisfying way. I don’t love every aspect of this book, however I think the author did what she intended to. To invoke emotion through writing is a talent

 TW/CW: mass shooting, gun violence, mentions of abuse, mentions of grief, mentions of Alzheimer's, mentions of rape.

Reading this was painful. Upsetting. I probably won't read another book like it in the future.

Tyler said he "didn't want to be alone anymore". He was never alone. He isolated himself in his grief and then when he successfully pushed ppl away, he turned that grief to anger. I can't feel bad for him though. He wasn't a good person before the shooting. As much as autumn tried to paint him as a saint because he was there for her. he's homophobic, a rap*st, and manipulative/controlling.
