That being said, I did genuinely enjoy this book. I didn't expect the plot twists at the end, Spoiler(Tomás and Tyler dying was definitely unexpected, and Tyler shooting his own sister?? What??). I did feel a small rush of adrenaline as I traversed through this book, and my heart raced faster as I got to the end. I definitely enjoyed the small povs that leave you hanging at the edge, forcing you to continue to find out what happens next. The writing style of this book was great. Although, as I said earlier, this book will most likely not match up with real-life school shootings, it was a great read, and I would recommend it with a warning of the fantasy-based motivation and Spoilerstand-off between Tomás and Tyler. (Because who really tells the guy with the gun that "sweaty chic" doesn't suit him?? It's incredibly unrealistic. It's like Tomás' survival instinct decided to save itself and jump out the window). But anyways.
TW: shooting, suicide (not graphically depicted but enough that you know what happens), injuries, blood
BOTTOM LINE:
Well-written book that makes your heart race faster. Would recommend to people with a warning that it is loosely based on real-life.

I wish we could have had more about the events after the shooting. I would love to know where the characters ended up after that situation.
