SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A SCHOOL SHOOTING

Discussed in my April Wrap Up Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWZJ34LOOYE

The characters are so complex, this is a work of fiction but it felt like I was reading a memoir.

Trigger warnings: islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, prejudice, grief, mental illness, addiction, attempted suicide.

4.5 stars
