A well written book with a powerful message. No one should ever need to worry about being put in this situation. You want everyone to escape. You want someone to get the gun away from him. You hope someone can get through to him. You want the brutality to end...but it just keeps going.

3.0

This was a tough read just because of the subject matter and how it reminds us that this happens far too often in our world. Other than that I felt like this book lacked depth. I didn’t really connect with the characters and I didn’t really understand the reasoning for why this was happening. I understand  that this was meant to be an emotional and uncomfortable read but some parts felt like they were included for shock value. This book was very sad and will make you cry. Still not sure how I feel about it.

My heart was in my throat the entire time I was reading. As a teacher, this is one of my worst nightmares. The story itself is realistic but the character jumping made it a little difficult to follow at times.

“Grief is one big, gaping hole, isn’t it?…It’s everywhere and all consuming. Some days you think you can’t go on because the only thing waiting for you is more despair. Some days you don’t want to go on because it’s easier to give up the to get hurt again.” 

This book was so devastating and super emotional.
