This book revolves around the POV of 4 main characters experiencing a school shooting. Obviously a difficult subject to write on and one that’s going to upset people one way or the other. I’m left feeling bummed out, but in a satisfying way. I don’t love every aspect of this book, however I think the author did what she intended to. To invoke emotion through writing is a talent

 TW/CW: mass shooting, gun violence, mentions of abuse, mentions of grief, mentions of Alzheimer's, mentions of rape.

Reading this was painful. Upsetting. I probably won't read another book like it in the future.

Tyler said he "didn't want to be alone anymore". He was never alone. He isolated himself in his grief and then when he successfully pushed ppl away, he turned that grief to anger. I can't feel bad for him though. He wasn't a good person before the shooting. As much as autumn tried to paint him as a saint because he was there for her. he's homophobic, a rap*st, and manipulative/controlling.

It was a good book but not my kind of style. Some things were predictable while others were not expected, told though multiple perspectives some were good whilst others were a bit boring at times.

This book was extremely sad, but realistic to todays society. The pacing was fast, which I really liked, but I was confused about the characters in the beginning and felt I had to write down who was who and who knew who, etc etc. Overall, I think the book was written very well and emotionally and the only flaw this book had was the random chapters that were not needed and the lack of explanation. Other than that, if you are looking to enjoy an emotional, intense rollercoaster, this is the perfect book for you.

I will never be getting over Tómas’ death.
