Too close for comfort. I worked in a school that was very much like the one in the book, and the book made me very anxious. It is well written and I liked the themes raised but I just had to stop reading.

This book was an emotional rollercoaster with lots of ups and downs. It expressed important topics in today’s society. However, I felt there was always too much happening at the same time and I struggled to keep track which character I was following. Overall it was a pretty decent book.

A fast paced book I finished in less than 24hours. Both didn’t want to put it down, but wanted breaks from the tense scenes. 

Really blown away by this book. So much packed into 300 pages. Will stay with me for a long time.
