Three Hours by Rosamund Lupton
4.0
*3.5 stars rounded up*
This book follows a group of people, students and teachers alike, trapped in a school during a school shooting. As the situation begins to escalate, and the wounded head teacher loses more and more blood, the plot winds towards its ultimate climax
This book reminded me a lot of Beartown in it's tone, partly, and it's multi-povs. Also in the presence of snow and the small town vibes in both
I did enjoy this book, but I think there are people who would get more out of it and enjoy it more (perhaps people who enjoyed Beartown). I do appreciate the concept of the novel being set across three hours, but I think for me that made it drag a little. The tension was maintained throughout, but perhaps I just prefer frequent scene changes to keep me interested
