I finally finished this book after dnf-ing it twice. The chapters are told reverse order so the book is really choppy and it’s a little confusing and annoying. Also, I already know what happened and I don’t really care about the smaller details. But other than that, I do like the book’s message and I appreciate the author’s open-mindedness.

Jodi has done it again!! The webs she weaves until pulling it all together at the end are tremendous ! I kept trying to guess how all these characters figured together- I got some correct!! Thanks Jodi for yet another awesome book!

This was a reread and it was still as amazing as the first time I read it! Jodi is truly an amazing author and this one didn’t disappoint. Telling the story in reverse chronological order and from different points of view really allows you to see the whole picture. This book was amazing and really made me think about what I believe. Highly recommend!

I’m as pro-choice as anyone can get.


This book was still bad.


I get multiple POVs, and she’s done that well enough in the past. So why was this one *so* jumpy? Also the timeframe hopping made it hard to follow. And then, despite a shooter being in a building, the book was just so *boring.*
