I finished this book in a few hours. Idk I just really didn’t like how you find out a bunch of horrible stuff happened and then poof you just move on like no biggie. I think that this book covers a very sensitive subject very superficially. It seemed like it was more about the shock value than the actual depravity of the situation. I feel like I didn’t like the characters that much and wish we would have gotten a Matt pov.
tomás literally couldn’t just go on the roof for like 5 minutes??? I feel like this got thrown in because we needed a mc death or something. Also I’m tweaking that autumn didn’t stand up before ash’s sister got shot. Like I wanna understand but mmm nah she got up two seconds later to try and help Matt, so no. Just another thing that was put in for shock value.
Graphic: Gore, Gun violence, and Mass/school shootings
