This book was an intense read. I felt all the emotions and could not put the book down. The subject of a school shooting was handled thoughtfully and delicately by the author, giving the perspective of the young shooter, his family, and victims.

An intense and devastating book that I could not put down. I feel Picoult approached this topic with grace, compassion, and understanding for all sides. Beautifully written.
