A daughter of a middle school teacher is killed by her own pupils. Overwhelmed by grief, she becomes consumed by the desire for revenge, intending to ruin the lives of the killers.
The book is incredibly gripping and captivating, keeping readers engrossed from start to finish. The narration in this book is truly unique, with six chapters presented from different characters' perspectives, all interconnected with the killers. This narrative technique sparks curiosity and encourages readers to piece the story together.
Initially, the book's premise appears simple, but it later leaves you utterly speechless. The overall story is highly intriguing and suspenseful, filled with unexpected plot twists that make you wonder why you didn't see them coming. Each character's point of view feels authentic and lifelike, setting it apart from other thriller books.
There are repetitive plots in some parts, but I believe that's the purpose of the repetition: to retell the story and show you what you may have missed. The repetitive plots leave readers in awe of the setup, execution, and ultimately, the satisfying resolution packed within just 200 pages. However, the book also conveys the message that revenge is not always the answer, though sometimes it may make you feel better.
